Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-01 00:00:00 Andre Kimble An older collection of sci-fi short stories, but still the usual mix of quality and the easily forgettable. I was disappointed that a couple of the authors never did move on to novels (I looked), particularly after reading Stephen Milligan's Red Eyes. Even my least favorite story, The Scholar of the Pear Tree Garden, was an interesting look at how important freedom and belief in ones own contributions can be. For those who enjoy sci-fi or are aspiring authors but have never read one of these Writers of the Future collections, you are missing out. The stories, even when they aren't great, often give you new worlds to think about and tips from authors on writing better. The article on suspense from L. Ron Hubbard in this edition was especially interesting.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-07 00:00:00 Margaret Stewart My opinion is a little biased. My fantasy fiction story, 'Silicon de Bergerac' was published in this anthology - my first and only fiction credit and a winning entry in the 'Writers of the Future' contest. I subsequently let my newspaper career get in the way of my dream to continue writing fantasy and SF, and although I have many non-fiction credits, mostly for technical writing in newspaper trade journals, I do want to get back to doing more of this kind of thing.
