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

This handy guide is a must-have for science-fiction writers and storytellers.
Richard explains his techniques in an uncluttered manner, building on the logic of each chapter.
I have found it very useful as a quick checklist when working on my own novel.
