Features

Writers Workshops and You by Tim Waggoner: "The participants didn't need to hear a lot of talk on how to write and publish. What they couldn't get outside of a workshop was individual feedback on their work from honest-to-God published writers."

Music to Write By by Frederik Pohl: "Music makes the actual messy business of writing a little less arduous and, maybe, even just a little bit better, and there we all can use all the help we can get."

Columns

Caveat Scriptor: Avoid Dark Alleys and Bad Contracts by James W. Fiscus: "The actual risks in publishing genre fiction are small, though real, and both writers and publisher could have been protected by a fair contract."

State of the Art: The Way of the Hank by Robert A. Metzger: "What matters is what the scientist does at the conference, how he or she creates a persona that says, 'I am the Lord High Master/Mistress of All Time and Space and get out of my way, you mere mortal,' mixed with just a dash of humility."
