Outside of Voyages of Imagination are there any other behind the scenes books that go behind the thought processes and collaboration of the litverse? I enjoyed what Voyages had to say about what had came out of that time but it was written pretty early before so many books had happened
I wouldn't mind seeing a "Making Of ..." for the DS9 Relaunch.
So far as I know, there aren't any other full-length books. But many authors have talked about their writing online—here, on their personal websites, interviews, etc.
Diane Duane has posts on inventing a Romulan language, writing for Star Trek, and becoming a Star Trek novelist, as well her 2011 interview with StarTrek.com, 2015 Women at Warp interview, and 2026 Dublin Inquirer article/interview.
David Mack has annotations for Harbinger and Reap the Whirlwind, a 2005 TrekToday interview, and a 2012 StarTrek.com interview.

I have an essay on similarities between sf and historical fiction in this book, in which I discuss writing Second Self. I also talk about Andor (S1). I'm working on a longer piece which will reflect on writing about Cardassia for over 25 years, but I've only just started on it, and it doesn't have a home yet.
Una, I just tracked down your essay in Writing the Future; the insights into your own practice are interesting, there are a couple good jokes, and as someone obsessed with thinking about genres, I really enjoyed your readings of Rogue One and Andor as historical fiction. Thanks for mentioning it here!
The German publisher released a book on the books maybe a decade ago. I have the ebook somewhere.
Thanks for taking the time to look it up! I enjoyed writing the piece immensely and I'm glad you liked it. The rest of the book is great too.
Ooooh. Writing the Future is now on its way to me! Thank you in advance!
Oh, I had not heard of this, but I found a blog page about it, with blurbs in German and then English:
"Maximum Warp: Der Guide durch die Star Trek-Romanwelten -- Von Nemesis zum Typhon-Pakt" aka "The Guide through the World of Star Trek Novels -- From Nemesis to the Typhon Pact").
First details of Cross Cult's Star Trek novels guide
German publisher Cross Cult have released their latest catalogue , which includes a description of the mysterious new Star Trek novels guid...
Does Star Trek: Adventures in Time and Space count? It was like a proto-Voyages of Imagination but with more author's opinion, IIRC.
And then there's Trek: The Printed Adventures, which covers lisenced Treklit and fanzines, with an emphasis on the latter and behind the scenes info for them rather than the novels.
