Writers Workshop of Science Fiction & Fantasy edited by Michael Knost (GIVEAWAY)


As a big fan of the sci-fi genre I'm honored to bring to you today an exciting book featuring some of the best sci-fi and fantasy writers.  Just looking at the author list should give you chills (among them is Neil Gaiman who wrote one of the most exciting Doctor Who episodes).  So keep reading to learn more about this book and make sure to fill out the form below to win a slew of prizes!

Writers Workshop of Science Fiction and 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  |  Alan Dean Foster  |  James Gunn  |  Tim Powers  |  Harry Turtledove  |  Larry Niven  |  Joe Haldeman  |  Kevin J. Anderson  |  Elizabeth Bear  |  Jay Lake  |  Nancy Kress  |  George Zebrowski  |  Pamela Sargent  |  Mike Resnick  |  Ellen Datlow  |  James Patrick Kelly  |  Jo Fletcher  |  Stanley Schmidt  |  Gordon Van Gelder  |  Lou Anders  |  Peter Crowther  |  Ann VanderMeer  |  John Joseph Adams  |  Nick Mamatas  |  Lucy A.
