How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy
"I had discovered the first kind of boundary that marks the twin genres of fantasy and science fiction: the publishing category."
"The science fiction and fantasy audience ... is the best audience in the world to write for. They're open-minded and intelligent. They want to think as well as feel, understand as well as dream. Above all, they want to be led into places that no one has ever visited before. It's a privilege to tell stories to these readers, and an honor when they applaud the tales you tell."
"A rustic setting always suggests fantasy; to suggest science fiction, you need sheet metal and plastic. You need rivets."
