How Writers Fail: Analysis and Solutions
A WMG Writer’s Guide

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Everyone fails at times. Writers fail in predictable ways—ways both foreseeable and preventable.

In this WMG Writer’s Guide, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Kristine Kathryn Rusch addresses the pitfalls writers face and offers solutions to help them overcome those obstacles.

Because the best writers push through their challenges to ultimately find success, as Rusch brilliantly illustrates in these real-world examples.

“Not many people understand the publishing business as well as the author business—Kris Rusch is one of them. Her Freelancer’s Survival Guide is balanced, ambitious, and packed with information that all writers, editors, and publishers should read.”
—Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author

The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades: A Diving Universe Novel

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

The Renegat Renegades finally learn their fate in New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades, the gripping new novel in her award-winning Diving series and an Asimov’s Readers’ Choice Award winner.

As the surviving crew of the Renegat face court-martial for mutiny—100 years in their future—the case makes everyone nervous. Prosecutors worry the survivors will prove too sympathetic to convict. The defense worries about the reliability of the defendants. But the survivors worry about what might happen should the truth—the whole truth—finally come to light. Set in Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s expansive Diving Universe, The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades adds rich new background to this powerfully written series.

With shocking secrets, a deepening mystery, and a surprise witness, this spellbinding sf mystery mixes the best of legal fiction and space opera and proves Rusch’s place as a master of science fiction.

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch is best known for her Retrieval Artist series, so maybe you’ve missed her Diving Universe series. If so, it’s high time to remedy that oversight.”

Wee Folk

Kristine Kathryn rusch

Wee folk populate fiction in a variety of forms, from elves to pixies to fairies to sprites. This collection of six stories from award-winning and bestselling master of short fiction Kristine Kathryn Rusch features all of them.

All centered on the magical, Wee Folk starts off with four stories with an edge. From a new twist on a theatrical legend in “Puckish Behavior” to a gunslinger for hire in “Renn and the Little Men” to funeral disruptors in “Flower Fairies” to battle-worn pixies in “Dispatches from the Front,” the wee folk in these stories prove anything but ordinary.

The final two stories feature elves at the holidays with a lot on their plates, with one Christmas elf serving time for his crimes in “By the Chimney with Care” and another with a big job in “Up on the Rooftop.”

In each magical story, the masterful Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts her trademark twist on the very nature of wee folk.

[Rusch’s] short fiction is golden.
