Expert Advice for Writing with Authenticity in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Other Genres

Putting the Science in Fiction

Allie Herrington

Making sure that science fiction stories portray more science fact than science fantasy can be one of the most difficult things for any writer to do, especially if they aren't a scientist themselves. This book aims to help with that. In it a variety of experts give a bare bones primer on a variety of scientific topics, so at least writers won't get the obvious stuff wrong.
Librarian: There are dozens of books on writing published each year. Obviously we can't order all of them. If you are planning on ordering a few though, this one is a good one to consider. It's on a topic, that I haven't seen deeply covered before, and written by people who are actually experts in the field. (Plus, with NaNoWriMo just around the corner, the demand for books like this is up.)
Reader: Interesting writing book on a topic that I haven't really studied before. I'm glad I picked it up, it will be a worthy addition to my shelves.
