Synopsis
This all-new definitive guide to writing imaginative fiction takes a completely novel approach and fully exploits the visual nature of fantasy through original drawings, maps, renderings, and exercises to create a spectacularly beautiful and inspiring object. Employing an accessible, example-rich approach, Wonderbook energizes and motivates while also providing practical, nuts-and-bolts information needed to improve as a writer. Aimed at aspiring and intermediate-level writers, Wonderbook includes helpful sidebars and essays from some of the biggest names in fantasy today, such as George R. R. Martin, Lev Grossman, Neil Gaiman, Michael Moorcock, Catherynne M. Valente, and Karen Joy Fowler, to name a few. Praise for Wonderbook: "Jammed with storytelling wisdom." -- Fast Company 's Co.Create blog "This is the kind of book you leave sitting out for all to see . . . and the kind of book you will find yourself picking up again and again." -- Kirkus Reviews online "If you're looking for a handy guide to not just crafting imaginative fiction like sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, but to writing in general, be sure to pick up a copy of Steampunk Bible author Jeff Vandermeer's lovingly compiled Wonderbook ." --Flavorwire "Jeff Vandermeer and Jeremy Zerfoss have created a kaleidoscopically rich and beautiful book about fiction writing." -- Star Tribune "Because it is so layered and filled with text, tips, and links to online extras, this book can be read again and again by both those who want to learn the craft of writing and those interested in the process of others." -- Library Journal

    Shipping was excellent, timing exceeded my expectations. Was packaged so the item wouldn't get damaged in it's travels, which is great considering it can/will get tossed around in the delivery truck/postal vehicle at times. Items was as described by seller and great value/price too! Hope to purchase from this seller again in the future/near future! Thank you for sharing with/selling your Homeschool Products to me and my family.😊

    Have had to file a claim for refund. This seller claims that he mailed them but no-one received their item, approx 50 buyers. He is taking legal action over this situation. He has notified all buyers to file a claim of “did not receive my item”. Feel sorry for this seller but he is doing the right thing.
