The first series, Writings, contains an assortment of his drafts and manuscripts. Due to his variety of writing styles, this series is divided into four subseries which demonstrate his versatility as an author: animated series, books, radio and audio drama, and short stories. Each of these subseries include manuscripts in varying stages of completion, from preliminary drafts to page proofs. The majority of this series is comprised of drafts from his Black Hole Travel Agency, GammaL.A.W., and the National Public Radio Star Wars series. The Correspondence series includes his communication with such companies as Del Rey Books, Dark Horse Comics, Ballantine, and LucasArts; business colleagues and collaborators; and a large amount of personal correspondence, including communication between friends, family, fans and fellow Vietnam veterans.
