I read the abbreviated version I received as part of the Hugo award packet which contains the first 5 of the 17 chapters. I enjoyed the first couple of chapters and the last couple of chapters were OK. I am sure some people will find this to be a useful book. Antonelli is clearly able to write. His message is that nothing gets handed to someone on a silver platter and writers need to learn from feedback. My only caveat is that sometimes it is better for a writer to abandon a story instead of trying to rewrite it until it works - maybe something along those lines are in the book. I would have preferred if the content skipped around a bit to give me a better overall sense of the book. While I have bought some of the Hugo nominated books, I don't feel compelled to buy this one. On the other hand, I think this has encouraged me to get King's book On Writing out of the library (Letters from Gardner is not available from my library). ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A Writer's Odyssey - a quest to get published by one of the most prominent short fiction editors of our time.This book is hard to classify, difficult to categorize.If you flip randomly through the pages, you're most likely to think it is a short fiction collection, specifically of science fiction and fantasy stories.But look some more, and you might think it's a how-to book, the topic being How to Break Into Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy.On the other hand, you'd be justified in thinking it's a memoir of a kind, of one author's efforts to break in as a published science fiction and fantasy author.Finally, you could even be forgiven in thinking it's a history, telling the tale of the last days when science fiction and fantasy original fiction was mostly propagated in print, not pixels, in real magazines made of paper compounded from ground up trees.You'd be right in all cases, because this book combines all those threads and tells a narrative I hope you will find interesting combined with science fiction and fantasy stories I know you will find entertaining.
