When Anne McCaffrey passed in November 2011, it was not only those closest to her who mourned her death; legions of readers also felt the loss deeply. The pioneering science fiction author behind the Dragonriders of Pern series crafted intricate stories, enthralling worlds, and strong heroines that profoundly impacted the science fiction community and genre.
In Dragonwriter, Anne’s son and Pern writer Todd McCaffrey collects memories and stories about the beloved author, along with insights into her writing and legacy, from those who knew her best. Nebula Award-winner Elizabeth Moon relates the lessons she learned from Pern’s Lessa (and from Lessa’s creator); Hugo Award-winner David Brin recalls Anne’s steadfast belief that the world to come will be better than the one before; legendary SFF artist Michael Whelan tells stories about never-before-published Pern sketches from his archives; and more.
Join Anne’s co-writers, fellow science fiction authors, family, and friends in remembering her life and exploring how her mind and pen shaped not only the Weyrs of Pern, but also the literary landscape as we know it.

Anne McCaffrey my reading companion since 1968
Anne McCaffrey has been my reading companion since 1968 - when Dragonflight was published. I bought (or was given) and read every book in the Pern Series, the Crystal Series and the Talents Series -- yes I read and/or listened to most of the rest of her work.
Dragonwriter is a storey -- the storey of a great storey teller and her thoughts.
Anne seems to have been a gentle sole - with keen imagination and a wonderful ability to spin a yarn for us all to enjoy.
In the pantheon of Fantasy Fiction Writers I rank Anne neck to neck with Terry Pratchett (who followed her) and E. E. 'Doc' Smith (who in many ways lead the way in writing human storeys in a fantasy setting -- space opera). I listen to key works time and time again.
