As informative a look behind the scenes as you're ever likely to see. It's a 'must read' for aspiring science-fiction writers, and excellent for beginning writers of any kind. -- Peter Nicholls, co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

Essential for any SF short story writer,

This review is from: Those Who Can: A Science Fiction Reader (Paperback)
Imagine having a highly respected and skilled author sit down and tell you how she/he wrote their story. How they got the idea, or how they developed the characterisation, plot, pace etc? Well, this compilation accompanies each story with an article by the author explaining their technique. It's helpful and motivational.
