Have aspirations of Starting Out as writer?  Want to hear the experiences of veterans and newly established authors?  Look no further.Seizing the unique opportunity provided by the SFX Weekender this year, we collected an array of interviews from authors at various stages of their careers for your aural delectation.  We probe into achieving a publishable standard through proof-readers and tinkering, the benefits (and not) of Agents, and dealing with rejection; gleaning insights along the way on their writing and editorial processes and the mysterious mechanics of the publishing world.Huge thanks to the contributing authors for their time and their trust.  If you have enjoyed their work, or if you would like to ask them any follow up questions having heard these interviews, please post messages at the following sites:Joe Abercrombie - http://www.joeabercrombie.com/Scott Andrews - http://www.eclectica.info/Jonathan Green - http://www.jonathangreenauthor.blogspot.com/Peter F Hamilton - http://theunisphere.com/Ja
