Unabridged SF-Related Essays on Writing
2003
Science fiction and fantasy author Tobias S. Buckell talks about a much-ignored period in the working writer's career: after one makes that first major professional story sale, but before he or she has turned that exception into the rule. Buckell discusses "the benefits, the experience, and the dangers of being a Joe Blow Neopro," along with "some strategies to move out of this stage in of our careers."
These six columns originally appeared in Speculations in 2003, when Buckell was still a neopro. His advice is likely worth reading because his first novel, Crystal Rain, comes out this month from Tor Books. Columns included:
- An Introduction
- Putting in the Time
- Original Source Creativity
- Professionalism
- Taking it Up a Notch
- Plan Your Career Now

Unabridged Speech on Technology and Business Issues
2004
On June 17, 2004, science fiction author and EFF spokesman Cory Doctorow talked to Microsoft Research Group and other interested parties about Digital Rights Management (DRM), copyright, and the technology that cleaves them together and apart. In five parts, Doctorow covers everything from DVD region coding and the player piano to the Apple iTunes Music Store and why Sony didn't create the digital successor to its once-ubiquitous Walkman. Everything you ever wanted to know about DRM, but were afraid to tell Microsoft.
20% of all revenues from the sale of this recording will be donated to the Cory Doctorow's charity of choice, which--to nobody's surprise--is the Electronic Frontier Frontier Foundation. This is in addition to the 1% of all Telltale Weekly revenues donates to the EFF. See the Mission page for details.
