WONDERBOOK
The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction
By Jeff VanderMeer
I have been included in an amazing writing guide that uses hundreds of images by artists and illustrators as inspiration for creative writing.
I have 4 artworks used as illustration on seven pages, an interview and even a full page picture of my studio shelves.
Jeff VanderMeer, award-winning author of The Steampunk Bible, has taken a completely new and wholly original approach to the writing guide, and created a manual that not only utilizes invaluable written information, but also teaches via scores of helpful and stimulating illustrations. Through an accessible, example-rich approach that emphasizes the importance of playfulness as well as pragmatism, Wonderbook energizes and motivates while also providing practical, nuts-and-bolts advice about how to improve as a writer. The book is filled with more than 200 images and pictorial exercises that will expand the reader’s creativity. These imaginative and influential illustrations are sure to inspire the next generation of aspiring fantasy writers.
