Writers Workshop of Science Fiction &
Fantasy (editor Michael Knost): Writers Workshop of Science Fiction &
Fantasy is a collection of essays and interviews by and with many of the
movers-and-shakers in the industry. Each contributor covers the specific
element of craft he or she excels in. Expect to find varying perspectives and
viewpoints, which is why you many find differing opinions on any particular
subject.
This is, after all, a collection of advice from professional
storytellers. And no two writers have made it to the stage via the same
journey-each has made his or her own path to success. And that’s one of the
strengths of this book. The reader is afforded the luxury of discovering
various approaches and then is allowed to choose what works best for him or
her.
Featuring essays and interviews with:
Neil Gaiman
Orson Scott Card
Ursula K. Le Guin

My thoughts:
This is a collection of advice from professional
storytellers. It has articles and interviews from many people working in the books world. For non writers it gives you look into the work of writing and publishing. For writers it has tips and techniques to help writers on their journey. While I think this is an asset for any writer to own that does not mean non writers can not enjoy this. This is a great collection from some wonderful and fascinating writers of our time.
My Rating: 4 out of 5
