Customer Review:
I received this book and was very excited to learn things that my writing has been missing. After reading this book I realized that this is not where I will find the answers.

from Writers Digest Books
Price: $11.55
Customer Review:
This is a great general reference guide. It gives you a place to start so you know what direction to go in if you want to delve into a topic further. I liked the generic descriptions on witchcraft, which for being Christian, I found very benign and non-threatening concerning a topic that can get... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy (Self-Counsel Writing) (Self-Counsel Writing)
from Self-Counsel Press
Customer Review:
This book is excellent and well worth the money. The only down fall is that the cd-rom accompanying the book is close to worthless. If you're buying the book, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the book and you'll learn a lot. Just don't let expect much from the cd. The cd-rom is the only thing... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Company They Keep: C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as Writers in Community
from Kent State University Press
Customer Review:
Glyer has put together an incredibly researched study of the relationships of "The Inklings," the social gathering that included C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien among others. "The Company They Keep" is not a casual read for the Narnia fan; it is a scholarly exposition of the influence that the... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Polishing up my own work, I recently considered purchasing this book. I checked it out at my local library, who had it in stock! (Helpful tip: check out possible purchases at the library, or request your library district buy what you're looking for!)

from Del Rey
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
As an aspiring writer, I nearly despaired about my prospects of becoming an author after reading Stephen King's book on writing, which struck me as demeaning, but this book not only offered me great technical and artistic ideas, it gave me back my hope. Brooks makes a cohesive argument for doing the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy, Vol. 2: The Opus Magus
from Dragon Moon Press
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
I have to say that Vol. 2 is just as complete as the first book in the series. However, the first book was printed in the US, and the second book in Canada, so the second book is a little smaller (metric I guess), and the book was cut with a unsharpened blade, so the pages are not even and have... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Writers Digest Books
Customer Review:
I liked much that this book had to offer for the beginning writer of speculative fiction. I appreciated the sections on building worlds and on writing well. I also gained a lot of practical advice in the last section, about the "nuts and bolts" of being a writer. However, there were times that my... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This is a good reference book. It explains what life might be like in certain star systems and what suns can support life. It has some science.
