I just tried a brief search of our online book catalog at Amazon.com Books,
and I found 130 titles in this general area. I used our "Keyword" search, which
finds books whose titles or subjects contain the desired keywords. Using
keywords "science fiction writ" and clicking the button for "Start(s) of
Keyword(s)" (to catch write, writer, writing...) I found 130 titles. They range
from "how-to" books by big-name sci-fi writers to interviews with same.

I'm sure one or more of these resources might help you out. We're an online
bookstore on the WWW at http://www.amazon.com
