Interview with the authors:

Q: So what makes Writers on Writing so special?
Stephanie M. Wytovich: I think what makes Writers on Writing a standout craft book is that Crystal Lake Publishing pulled writers from different genres and different mediums to give readers a massive insight into the industry in regards to film, screenwriting, poetry, prose, etc. Itâ€™s a meaty collection of advice that speaks to everyone at any point in their career, and I think readers will be wildly excited about the essays inside.

Q: Tell us more about your essay.
Jack Ketchum: Mine's about pacing, crucial to grabbing and holding the reader's attention, and music to the reader's ear. Both, I think, important things to consider.

Kenneth W. Cain: I speak of using diversity in your fiction, of pulling from the known world to create more realistic characters without relying on stereotypes and generalizations. Itâ€™s much a reflection of myself, of course, but I fully believe in letting characters breathe, allowing them to become what they will, good or bad, male or female, deviant or prude.

Q: Why should authors read Writers on Writing?
Mark Allan Gunnells: There's something for everyone. Many topics of writing and promotion and publishing from people who have experience with these things.

Stephanie M. Wytovich: To me, itâ€™s a great way to see how other artists are making things work, while at the same time gain insight into different approaches to the craft. I also think that books like Writers on Writing are great teaching tools for instructors and editors because they can help students both inside and outside of the classroom, and as an instructor myself, I find the essays to be extremely refreshing reads that excite and prepare me for lecture and workshop.

Q: Any other non-fiction books authors should try out?
Kenneth W. Cain: Horror 101 is a good start, as there are so many authors packed into that book, all with such great advice. Iâ€™m also quite fond of, and even quote in my article in Writers On Writing Vol.4, Stephen Kingâ€™s On Writing. Kingâ€™s book takes a unique approach at teaching the reader the craft, by example more than spelling the rules out for you.
