In this WMG Writer's Guide, bestselling and award-winning author Kristine Kathryn Rusch tells the riveting story behind the creation of her epic fantasy series The Fey.

Rusch speaks frankly about the mistakes she made, the bad advice she took, the problems in curation of the books themselves, and the unequal treatment she received from the publishing company that originally purchased the series in the 1990s.

As Rusch now looks forward to writing new books in the world of The Fey, she reflects on those hard-learned lessons and offers spellbinding insights into book publishing's recent past as well as keen insight into the future for aspiring writers.
