“The Rift, which was well over a thousand pages of manuscript, took two...” — Walter Jon Williams Quote

“The Rift, which was well over a thousand pages of manuscript, took two years.”

“I can't speak for the other authors, but what I hoped to achieve was to illuminate certain corners of the Lucas universe that hadn't yet been explored.”

“It's hard to generalize, because they're all different. When I started, I decided to take as much advantage as I could of the freedom offered by the SF field.”

“I've seen unpublished manuscripts where the writer doesn't know they are making fun of the villain - but they are. If you aren't afraid of your villain, how can your hero be afraid?”

“Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place.”

“I can almost always read a new manuscript overnight.”
