Now Write! Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror: Speculative Genre Exercises from Today's Best Writers and Teachers (Now Write! Series)

The tips contained within this book from the experts make it a must read for any aspiring author. I recommend this to anyone interested in writing.

Fine.

I began writing 3 years ago. I wish I had found your book then, but now is better than never. Very useful, with fast reads.

Got this for my daughter, she is an aspiring young writer and this was a fun surprise for her.

I have all the other books in this series. Like the other books, this book is full of exercises that are fantastic to kick-start any writing day.

This makes a handy reference book for those that write in this genre. Recommended for writers of any genre for the basic info in it.

Enjoyed this book - normally don't go in for "exercise" books, but most contributors gave lots of food for thought.

So far, I am uncertain what clean and clear benefit I've gained from reading this through. On the other hand, I found it encouraging to keep at what I've been attempting to accomplish for several years now.

Informative

A great collection of ideas, points-of-view, writing techniques and thought-provoking exercises to get you writing.

I have a couple of the Now Write Series and they are my go to books when I am stuck for ideas. The Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror exercises cover a broad range of topics including understanding the genre, ideas and inspiration, high stakes, building worlds, etc. There's a wealth of information and ideas presented for you to work with - the only hitch is that if you are looking for a beginner book, this might not be the right one for you. Instead, you might want to take a look at Writing Fantasy & Science Fiction: How to Create Out-of-This-World Novels and Short Stories.

Happy with order.

Great collection of essays on writing speculative fiction! Recommended!
