Description
"Aspiring writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror look no further in your quest for a guide to help you transport your audience to faraway lands or alternate timelines. As you envision distant futures and write about new worlds, this handy guide is here to help you improve your technique. You'll find out how to see your work through the eyes of your audience (is that a magic power or a horror plotline?), so you can perfect your characters, build mystery, create conflict and resolution, write realistic space battles--and, of course, get published! Turn your wildest imaginings into captivating prose"--Back cover.
