- Create a comprehensive website which serves as a hub for information of use to speculative fiction readers, writers, editors and publishers.
- Develop booklists and other materials to use in outreach efforts to schools and libraries.
- Raise funds for redistribution to quality work, by individuals and organizations, which enriches the field.
