In a special article entitled "Where Steampunk Started," Contest Judge and World Fantasy Award winning author Tim Powers tells the story of how the subgenre, based on Victorian fantasies, got its name.
And the most recent "Writers of the Future" judge, New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, enters in with his article "The Fine Distinction Between Cooks and Chefs" as he provides what he feels is the best writing advice he has to offer.
And with his amusing article "How to Drive a Writer Crazy," L. Ron Hubbard comments on the business of writing in reference to dealing with fickle editors.
The Writers of the Future writing contest (www.writersofthefuture.com) was initiated by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 to provide a means for aspiring writers to get that much-needed break. Due to the success of the Writing Contest, the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest was created in 1988.
The intensive mentoring process has proven very successful. The 368 past winners of the Writing Contest have published 838 novels and nearly 4,000 short stories. They have produced 27 New York Times bestsellers and their works have sold over 50 million copies.
The 298 past winners of the Illustrating Contest have produced over 4,500 illustrations, 356 comic books, graced 594 books and albums with their art and visually contributed to 36 TV shows and 46 major movies.
