A New Essay

Michael Knost, Bram Stoker Award-winning writer and genuinely nice guy (he chauffeured George Zebrowski and me around the University of Kansas during the 2006 Campbell Conference and made us feel as though we were doing him a favor) has edited a new anthology, Writers Workshop of Science Fiction and Fantasy, which includes essays and interviews with some of sf's best-known writers and editors. This isn't just a book for aspiring writers; even oldtimers can learn a few things from the contributors. George's contribution is "Middles," and mine is "Talking Too Much, or Not Enough: Dialogue in Science Fiction and Fantasy." Writers Workshop is out in paper and electronic editions and available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell's, and independent bookstores.
