A Symposium, containing essays by John W. Campbell Jr., L. Sprague de Camp, Robert Heinlein, Jack Williamson, A.E. Van Vogt, John Taine and Edward E. Smith with an introduction by John Carnell.

The pitfalls inherent in writing science fiction are not always evident to the would-be SF author and for many years there has been an urgent need for a guide to these and other problems with which he is faced.

In this symposium, seven prominent authors offer advice based on their success, and the writer who is planning to make a contribution to the SF market will find it both informative and helpful. This is the first book in a new series of DOBSON STUDIES IN SF.
