About GreenTentacles

GreenTentacles provides resources for people who make their living in the speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror) industries. Our goal is to give genre professionals and businesses the additional tools, resources, and information that they can use to succeed in their endeavors.

GreenTentacles was formed to fill a void in the speculative fiction industry. Too often companies that focus on speculative fiction have been looked on as hobbyists...

What our name means

It took us over three months to settle on a name for our company. All the while we did research on our proposed industry- speculative fiction. We discovered that what we originally thought was a simple market niche, was in fact many niches that spanned several industries. A Meta-Niche.

We also discovered, at the same time, that green tentacles can be found in every genre of speculative fiction. That is why we chose the name. To illustrate this point we have created the 'Green Tentacle Sightings' area.
