Downloads from Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy

The second edition of Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy has a CD with some supplemental materials—links to books and authors mentioned in the text, posts from this blog, plus a number of reviews. (I've even thrown in a scholarly article published way back in 1972.) The CD is readable only on a PC, however, so Mac users (including me) are out of luck.

However, I've uploaded those materials as a long Word file, and you're welcome to download it—even if you haven't bought the book. I hope you find these items useful.

I find this blog much helpful. Thank you.

But maybe a search function would be good, because I want to ask a question, but I don't know if it is answered already.

Here is my question: What do you think of Creative Commons licensed novels?

Do you think a writer can gain something sharing a novel for free? Can it be a valuable advertisement for the writer? I am thinking to share my second novel on the internet, do you advise so?

Hey, thanks for that download!

When I started reading your post, I was feeling a bit disheartened that I already had the book's first edition. Now I feel better.

I will. And buy the deadtree version, too :)

I just bought the book this weekend... and I use a Mac at work and Linux at home. This is greatly appreciated!

Enjoying it immensely so far. It's really making me think.

Thanks for the download, that's awfully generous of you. The "Ten Steps for Pre-Editing" looks particularly useful :)
