5.0 out of 5 stars
The best guide to write SF that I know of,
By isala "Isabel and Lars" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Write Science Fiction Pb (Paperback)
It is a shame this one is out of print and difficult to get hold of, because it is good. Shaw is a distinguished British SF author. In this guide he assumes that the reader has overcome writer's block and know their grammar, and knows something about the mechanics of general writing. Therefore he gets down and dirty immediately into advice on how to write good SF! All his advice is geared towards starting and finishing that SF story of yours. He also gives some hints on how to distinguish between a good idea for a story and a bad idea. He does have some advice on publishing, but the main point is that if your story is not good SF it really is no point marketing it as SF.
