Volume 3 gathers almost 40 nonfiction essays from contemporary authors who pull back the curtain on their craft. Steven Erikson, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Hugh Howey, Richard Kadrey, and dozens of other writers examine the creative process with unflinching honesty. They explore the beauty that drives them to write, the grinding effort required to complete manuscripts, and the inevitable frustrations that plague every stage from first draft to publication. Contributors including Christopher Fowler, Gary Gibson, Anthony Ryan, Pat Cadigan, Jay Kristoff, Paul Tremblay, Max Gladstone, and many others share personal insights into writing, editing, and illustration. The collection offers readers direct access to the minds of working authors as they navigate the complex world of modern publishing and confront the challenges that define their profession.
