For all the name L. Ron Hubbard represents as the founder of Dianetics and Scientology, let us never lose sight of the man as an author — specifically, among the world’s most enduring and widely read authors of popular fiction, with international sales approaching forty million and a body of work spanning fifty years.
Nor let us lose sight of L. Ron Hubbard’s greater impact; he is legitimately credited with helping to reshape whole genres through the 1930s and 1940s, while his eleven consecutive New York Times bestsellers from the 1980s still mark an unequaled event in publishing history. Then, too, let us never lose sight of all he represented in the name of authorship as a profession — which is to say, all that is presented here as L. Ron Hubbard addresses the craft of writing.
