Publisher Description

SIDELINES offers Lois McMaster Bujold's nonfiction, over the course of three decades, on the many facets of writing and a writer's life, on art, literature, society, cultural differences and some revelations about her own life, family and how they influenced her. 


In this beautifully written series of speeches, travelogues, articles, introductions and less formal pieces, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Bujold shares her views on a wide variety of subjects, with grace, humor, and at times startling insight.  A welcome companion to Lois McMaster Bujold's science fiction and fantasy, by the author whom Booklist called "one of sf's outstanding talents."


“Bujold continues to prove what marvels genius can create out of basic space operatics.”

Inspiring for writers and readers

I am so glad that I went ahead and got this book. So many people have heralded Lois McMaster Bujold as one of the great SF/Fantasy writers that my praise for her is redundant to the nth degree. However I can say that Sidelines is a wonderful portal into the "mind space" of this great author. Even if SF isn't your thing, Bujold's experiences with and insights into the creative/writing/publishing process are fascinating. I come away from this book inspired and eager to return to my favorite Bujold novels and my own creative germinations.
