What's it like putting words in Buffy's mouth? How do you go about inventing your own X-File, or coming up with a mission for the crew of the Enterprise?

Journalist Joe Nazzaro answers all these questions and more in this must-have collection of exclusive, in-depth interviews with writers and producers from TV's hottest SF and fantasy shows. Some of the biggest names in the business talk candidly about how they started out, their inspirations and influences, and what it's really like to create the incredible and impossible on a daily basis. A must for any fan of SF and fantasy TV.
