the best audience in the world
"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."
the publishing category
"I had discovered the first kind of boundary that marks the twin genres of fantasy and science fiction: the publishing category."
That sense of wonder
"That sense of wonder is what you aspire to create; that's what you must create if you are going to write effective science fiction and fantasy."
