i like watching “making-of” or “behind-the-scenes” featurettes and documentaries about the behind the scenes machinations of movie making, but in terms of literature, I’m not sure what to look for if i want to learn about the process Martha wells went through to conceive the murderbot diaries, for example.

i can search for making-of The Matrix and find documentaries, but not making-of project hail Mary and find similar literary results.

is there a section of literature like this?

should i be reading annotated editions?

thanks

    that’s peculiar there’s no overarching genre for SF studies that i see, just sf studies.

    thanks, at least i can look up a few sf titles to start.
