I just finished all four books in the Murderbot series. Can't wait for the novel. But that said I did really enjoy the novella format. Do you plan on writing more in that format?
Martha Wells
Thank you! I like the format, too, as a reader and a writer. I first used it when I did four novellas as part of the Books of the Raksura series. I will probably do some more novellas in the future, though I'm not sure what they'll be about yet.

I loved Murderbot & he is my all-time-favorite "bot" now! He reminds me of me, I guess, mostly concerning my attitude, especially concerning work (I'm an I.T. guy for a prestigious University and let me tell you, if I had a desk that wasn't open to the world, I'd be reading 24/7! My question is simple, do you know how long (or if) until Audible has part 3 and 4 available? Have they even been written yet?

Hi Martha! Just finished All Systems Red, and Murderbot is so gosh-darned #relatable I'll be a little disappointed if it doesn't start writing "Sanctuary Moon" fanfic before your series is over. What are the chances? Or should we just plan on "Sanctuary-Moon-as-written-by-Murderbot" for a Yuletide category?

I just recently got into reading the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and ordered the whole of 2007. Come to find out, you're a columnist in several of the editions! Any advice on how to write ABOUT sf/f? I've always wanted to be a critic but I don't know how to get the voice across without seeming elitist.
