- Synopsis
- The writing of science fiction poses special problems, in addition to those involved in all fiction writing. Often the writer has to create a whole new world - invent a believable future or rewrite the past authentically. He has to design an alien world, and adapt human biology and geology to it. He must develop imaginary technology and avoid making elementary errors in science. He may even have to use language in an entirely new way. The Way To Write Science Fiction tackles all these subjects, as well as giving practical guidance on markets and the contemporary science fiction scene. Brian Stableford is supremely well-qualified to write this book; the author of over 30 science fiction novels, he is also the co-author of The Science in Science Fiction which won the 1985 European Science Fiction Award and has contributed to many reference books on literature in general and science fiction in particular.
