Spotlight on: Kelley Armstrong, WriterThursday 28 July 2011 | Magazine; Perspectives
When I had an idea for a YA series, I thought it would be much different than writing for adults. Then I read modern YA and realized the plots and characters are just as complex. Yet writing teenage characters is different -- they have very different skill sets, issues, and concerns...

George R.R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons is #1.
Spotlight on: Bruce Coville, Writer and Audiobook PublisherMonday 25 July 2011 | Magazine; Perspectives
I'm particularly proud of our full cast recordings of some of the great Heinlein YA titles -- Have Space Suit, Will Travel; The Rolling Stones; Star Beast; and Red Planet. One of Heinlein's many strengths was his gift for dialogue, and large sections of these books read almost as if they were written as scripts.

Russell Letson reviews James S.A. CoreyWednesday 20 July 2011 | Reviews; Magazine; 2011 Posts
From Locus Magazine's July 2011 issue
We came here for space battles and encounters with low-life corridor scum and exposing the manipulations of corporate psychopaths and desperate searches for the last shreds of decency and heroic last stands and blowing stuff up, and there's plenty of that to go around.

Ted Chiang: Scientific MethodFriday 15 July 2011 | Magazine; Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's July Issue interview.
I consider most of my work science fiction, even the stories that look like fantasy. To me, what makes a story science fiction is not whether the universe has the same laws as our universe or not, but whether it is a universe in which the scientific method works. New Books : mid-JulyThursday 14 July 2011 | Monitor, Directories
George R.R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons, Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-eighth Annual Collection, J.G. Ballard's Millennium People, Charles Stross' Rule 34, and Robert Charles Wilson's Vortex
Tim Pratt reviews Nick MamatasWednesday 13 July 2011 | Reviews; Magazine; 2011 Posts

Lev Grossman: Insider / OutsiderFriday 8 July 2011 | Magazine; Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's July Issue interview.
We had to choose between packaging The Magicians for fantasy readers and for literary readers. In some ways, it made sense to skew it literary, because fantasy readers are more adventurous than literary readers. Lois Tilton reviews Short Fiction, early JulyThursday 7 July 2011 | Reviews
Reviews of stories from Jabberwocky, Journal of Unlikely Entomology, Clarkesworld, GigaNotoSaurus, Abyss & Apex, Apex Magazine, and Redstone SF
Faren Miller reviews Daryl GregoryWednesday 6 July 2011 | Reviews; Magazine; 2011 Posts
From Locus Magazine's July 2011 issue
Raising Stony Mayhall should add to Daryl Gregory's reputation as a dazzling innovator, despite being set in an alternate history whose starting point comes from the realm of pulpish horror: the zombie invasion in Night of the Living Dead.

Cory Doctorow: No EndorsementSaturday 2 July 2011 | Magazine; Perspectives
From Locus Magazine's July Issue.
As 3D printing marketplaces race past traditional crafting sites, there's a world of potentially mass-produced objects that need some lightweight, simple way to get legit, avoid legal wrangles, and focus on making great stuff instead of enriching the legal profession.
