Sean Meriwether - writer editor webarchitect

Description

(b. American, 1969) Sean Meriwether came to the Internet understanding the huge potential for exchanging ideas and information, and developed his website as a platform to promote his fiction and work. Beginning with a free webspace at Geocities.com, he learned to hardcode HTML because it was more versatile than their WYSIWYG editor. His search for versatility encouraged him to develop beyond the limitations of straight HTML into PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and other dynamic functions.

He took that knowledge and constructed websites as canvases to experiment upon and hone his skills. Among them is Outsider Ink, an alternative ezine established in 1999 to promote fiction, poetry and artwork that defies categorization. He has developed a global readership of approximately 50,000 per quarterly issue. The ezine has been praised for its bold content and sleek design and named as one of the top five markets for new writers by Writer’s Digest in 2003. Building upon the success of Outsider Ink, he created Velvet Mafia: Dangerous Queer Fiction exclusively for marketing gay fiction. His experience as an editor for the two ezines has helped him ferret out the strengths and weaknesses in other writer's fiction, lessons he was able to apply to his own work. He is also the website designer and finalist committee member for Project: QueerLit, which solicited alternative novel manuscripts for publication.

His work has or will be published in the second installment of Best of Best Gay Erotica, Law of Desire, as well as online in Lodestar Quarterly and 3AM Magazine. He is currently working on several projects including a novel about a young gay man growing up in a small rural town, and a collection of short fiction.
