    About this ebook

    More great advice from a science fiction master!

    Following on the heels of the revised and expanded THE SCIENCE FICTION PROFESSIONAL, this book contains the rest of Mike Resnick’s famed “Ask Bwana” columns, as well as four new columns that have never before appeared in print.

    New and hopeful writers pose questions to Resnick, who offers sage and witty advice, backed up by his many years of experience in the field. Resnick knows his stuff: according to Locus magazine, he is the all-time leading award winner for short fiction in the genre, and he has also edited 2 major magazines and 42 anthologies. There is no better source for answers and advice in the science fiction field.
