2.World Building (Science Fiction Writing)World Building (Science Fiction Writing)
from Writer's Digest Books
Price: $12.77

Customer Review:
I was a little dissappointed with this book. The author never really got down into the guts of the worldbuilding topic. It teaches the logistics of star systems and orbits and stuff, but it doesn't talk about what happens down on a specific world.
The bottom line: the book would've been better... more info

3.The Writer s Complete Fantasy ReferenceThe Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference
from Writers Digest Books
Price: $7.10

Customer Review:
Other reviewers have complained about the incompleteness of this book. Let me clarify:
If the editor had named it "The Writer's Fantasy Reference," few would be complaining. The book is filled with material to trigger the imagination of any writer, and fill out the details in their work.more info

This book is in two parts. The first describes Tolkien's work on the Oxford English Dictionary and how he was able to make good use of his special philological skills.

My colloge's instructor suggest me to buy this book, and this edition is better than another kind of handbook I saw in my colloge's bookstore. This may do you a favor with your college writting.

6.Sometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing LifeSometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing Life
from Del Rey
Price: $7.45

Customer Review:
This is a difficult book to review since it's not quite clear what it is. The back cover calls it a "writing guide" in which Brooks "shares his secrets," his website calls it "200 pages of sage writing advice for the beginning and expert writer alike," and the introduction tells you what a craftsman... more info

7.Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy (Self-Counsel Writing)Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy (Self-Counsel Writing)
from Self-Counsel Press
Price: $5.92

Customer Review:
This book is really basic. It doesn't have anything outstanding in it that other books on the subject have. Be original when you write, make up your own world, don't use cliche races and ideas. You just read the book.

The author is engaging, funny, and thoughtful. I get the impression that he truly wants you to write well and gives us a good foothold to get there in the crazy world(s) of science fiction. His humor is spread out over the book and keeps the text lively. I didn't think I was going to read the end of... more info

9.Writing Science Fiction and FantasyWriting Science Fiction & Fantasy
from St. Martin's Griffin
Price: $4.50

Customer Review:
I bought this book because I thought there would be more material concerning fantasy. Aside from the chapter "Turtles all the Way Down" there is little to do with fantasy, some chapters even have passages along the line of "fantasy maybe, but we're talking about sct-fi."
There are also several... more info

from Kent State University Press
Price: $17.94

Customer Review:
I am an aspiring composer, and when my brother bought and gave me this book, I was surprised and asked him why he bought it, to which he replied "Just read it."
Needless to say, I read it. I expected it to be a dry book about two dead, although very good, writers. But I soon realized that Diana... more info
