Phillip Martin has edited several of my books, so I know that he is a great editor. Now, having read How to Write Your Best Story, I can say that he is a great writer, too. This is a gem of a book—a must read for anyone who has written or wishes to craft the “best story” possible. Toward the end of the book, Phillip refers to a work by nature writer Barry Lopez, who define isumataq, the Inuit word for “storyteller,” as follows: “the person who creates the atmosphere in which wisdom reveals itself.” This summarizes the tone and insight of this wonderful little book. It is just one of the many words of wisdom in which Phillip Martin weaves a story about how to better write and simply enjoy our own stories.

Great read. Quick, interesting, and fun. Asimov continues to enamor readers 50 years after the fact. His world of Science Fiction is still fantastical, even though to him, 1996 was so far in the future it couldn't be conceived.
