Review
"Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novelist and screenwriter Gerrold passionately discusses the challenges and excitement of writing sf....In a chatty, informal, and even humorous style, he provides numerous exercises and questions, challenging the would-be writer to imagine the answers....Gerrold is a first-rate writer..." Library Journal
Review
"How-to-write mavens won't be surprised...as Gerrold proffers a fairly standard set of the basics, though he does put his own characteristic and occasionally touchy-feely spin on each. Aspiring sf and fantasy writers will appreciate his clarity and lack of condescension....Even at his most idiosyncratic, he is unlikely to lead beginners seriously astray." Roland Green, Booklist
Synopsis
