A special Sunday post just to take a moment to celebrate the fact that this blog has been running now, every Tuesday, since June 15, 2009, when I introduced myself in the post “Who is Philip Athans?”
Since then 268,135 visitors have viewed 782 posts 578,065 times. That’s a total of 889,938 words across 781 posts on the art and craft of writing fantasy, science fiction, horror, and fiction in general.
And we’re still going strong, even in the last year or so adding new venues to the Fantasy Author’s Handbook family.
Every post now ends with this list of links:
Fantasy Author’s Handbook is now on YouTube!

There’s one collection of The Best of Fantasy Author’s Handbook out there and I hope to get a second volume out this year. This is what it looks like, and of course the image links to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, which they have asked me to remind you of.
If you’re one of the 268,135… thank you! If you’re new to the blog, welcome!
I feel as though I’ve just gotten started.
Oh, and as always, absolutely not one word of this post was in any way generated by any version of an “AI” or Large Language Model.
