Creating a Sci-fi World Kindle Edition

by Richard Dee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 6 ratings

Do you want to write Sci-fi or Steampunk adventures?
Are you struggling with World Building?
Do you want to create a world: or even a universe, but you’re put off by all the science you think you need to know before you can start?


If the answer to any of those questions is yes, I’ve tried to simplify the process by showing you another way.
This guide is based on the World-building workshops that I hold as a member of the Exeter Authors Association. The aim is to show you an easier way of doing things, with chapters on such subjects as Location, Characters, Sidekicks and Steampunk.

I’ll tell you the method that I’ve used to create several universes in the future and in an alternative present, maintaining realism without getting bogged down in the technicalities.


Creating a Sci-fi World contains exercises and suggestions, as well as examples from my novels, there are even some short stories to illustrate how my methods can be applied.

"an excellent tool to have at your disposal."

Editorial Reviews

Review

A review from Amazon.co.ukI expected this book to be good, because I've admired the worldbuilding skill evident in Richard Dee's science fiction; I didn't expect it to carefully, systematically, and gently ease you into having the confidence to go it alone. An excellent how-to; I shall enjoy using it in my historical fiction first, then have a go at science fiction myself.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m Richard Dee and I’m from Brixham in Devon.

I write all kinds of speculative fiction, from Science Fiction and Steampunk to sci-fi crime and psychological thrillers.

Forty years at sea gave me the ideas, I just changed the names and set them in the future or in an alternative now.

All my work is fuelled by black coffee and homemade digestive biscuits.

You can keep up with me at https://richarddeescifi.co.uk/ where you’ll find free short stories, regular features on writing, book reviews and guest appearances from other great authors.

I can also be contacted at richarddeescifi@gmail.com
