1.		How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 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. The basics of the information is OK, but I agree with what a previous reviewer said having never had any formal writing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		American Short Stories (8th Edition) from Longman Price: $59.40 Customer Review: This is a book worth reading. Although it was assigned by a class ofmine, I really enjoyed the collection of short stories.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		SF Writer (with MyCompLab NEW with E-Book Student Access Code Card) (4th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $62.00 Customer Review: I did receive exactly the ISBN that I asked for, and for that I am quite thankful. This book was used and was represented as being in like new condition. When I received it there were obvious signs of use - ruffled corners, etc. There were unsightly glue marks on front where a label an attempt to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Writers Complete Fantasy Reference 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	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		World Building (Science Fiction Writing) from Writer's Digest Books Price: $15.29 Customer Review: 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!) While the information between the pages was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy (Genre Writing) 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	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Worlds of Wonder: How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy from Writer's Digest Books Customer Review: The first time I read this book i hilighted the most helpful parts. I went through three hilighters. This is a must read for any writer! I myself don't really like books that teach writing but this one is amazing. It covers everything from grammer to the difference between sex scenes and love... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.	[no image]	Exploring Fiction from Longman Price: $64.08	Click here for more information


9.		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	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Sometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing Life from Del Rey Price: $11.86 Customer Review: Brooks gives an insightful look at being a fantasy writer, both in regards to the craft and the business. If you're a fantasy writer or interested in the process, this is a nice title to read.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Aliens and Alien Societies (Science Fiction Writing Series) from Writer's Digest Books Customer Review: 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. It also tells you how to look at various cultures and develop your own through creative thinking and logic as well as looking at ecosystems on earth and how... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		The Wand in the Word: Conversations with Writers of Fantasy from Candlewick Price: $13.59 Customer Review: The Wand in the Word is a wonderful compilation of interviews with some of the major voices in fantasy literature today. Leonard Marcus begins his introduction by telling us that fantasy writers have not enjoyed the spotlight until recently. This is surprising because fantasy has been in existence... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Complete Guide to Writing Science Fiction: Volume One - First Contact (The Complete Guide to Writing Series) from Dragon Moon Press Price: $19.46 Customer Review: Edited by Dave A. Law and Darin Park (sorry, the name of the book was too big to include the editors into the title). I received this book from EDGE/Tesseract, which is also in league with Dragon Moon Press, who happened to be the publisher of this particular book. On a side note to this, they... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Company They Keep: C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as Writers in Community from Kent State University Press Price: $32.85 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	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Ring of Words: Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $26.78 Customer Review: This book is in two parts. The first describes Tolkien's work on the Oxford English Dictionary and how he was able to make good use of his special philological skills. Brief explanations of words that he worked on, as well as technical details of how word origins are traced are given in this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Why I Write About Elves from Amazon.com Price: $0.49 Customer Review: This was a very good little essay on why Terry Brooks writes fantasy, but more importantly it might help you articulate why YOU READ fantasy for inquiring people. Perhaps you feel some of the same consternation that Terry Brooks feels in explaining his writing. I admit that I feel it from time to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Writing Science Fiction & Fantasy from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $11.86 Customer Review: I really enjoyed this collection and found it useful. I can understand the arguments people make that the collection can be contradictory, but that is do to the fact that there are different essays by different people with different roads to success. There is no one sure-fire way to write a good... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Adventures in Fantasy: Lessonsand Activities in Narrative and Descriptive Writing, Grades 5-9 from Jossey-Bass Price: $16.47	Click here for more information


19.		Science Fiction Writer's Workshop-I: An Introduction to Fiction Mechanics from AuthorHouse Price: $12.55 Customer Review: I bought this book back when it was first published and anxiously awaited the promised sequel, which as far as I know never came. But this book is worth it, it's outstanding, and the best book on writing I've ever read. This is where I learned point of view and backfill ideas.

20.		Writing Fantasy & Science Fiction: And Getting Published (Teach Yourself) from NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company Customer Review: As a beginning Science Fiction and Fantasy writer, I found this book severely dissappointing. It's not that it isn't a useful book, or that it's badly written; what I disliked, was that half the examples were telling you what you could and could not get away with rather than how to write high... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
