My own writing has perhaps more of an American flavor than a British one, but that's because the stories I've so far written have needed it.

But there is a universality to story that isn't just limited to science fiction.

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy. But I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
T. J. Miller
When I began writing in the mid-1960s, I thought it was not important for readers to know whether I was male or female. Also, I was a great admirer of E.B.
