1.		How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: Orson Scott Card (well known to sf circles as the author of Ender's Game) presents his advice on writing science fiction and fantasy. The book has a specific and limited scope: rather than trying to teach everything one needs to know to write fiction, Card addresses only those areas where... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		SF Writer (with MyCompLab NEW with E-Book Student Access Code Card) (4th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $64.00 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


3.		The Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: The only thing I would add is that the book is limited in its scope. Sure, the book covers a very broad range of fantasy concepts and creatures/weapons/armors/cultures, but these things are all from the framework of the middle ages of Europe, Prussia and Britain and also what we can read in popular... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		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


5.		American Short Stories (8th Edition) from Longman Price: $55.15 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


6.		Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy (Self-Counsel Writing) from Self-Counsel Press Customer Review: This book, published by Self-Counsel Press, now comes with a CD-ROM (second edition, 2007; original publication 1998). It promises to be a one-stop shop for writing and selling speculative fiction. It does show a pretty good breadth, from the basic elements of fiction writing (such as characters,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		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


8.		Sometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing Life 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	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


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


10.		Writing Science Fiction & Fantasy from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $10.17 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
