But with New York Times bestselling author Philip Athans and fantasy giant R. A. Salvatore at your side, you’ll create worlds that draw your readers in—and keep them reading! Drawing on his years of experience as one of the most acclaimed professionals in publishing, Wizards of the Coast editor Athans explains how to set your novel apart and break into this lucrative field. From devising clever plots and building complex characters to inventing original technologies and crafting alien civilizations, Athans gives you the techniques you need to write strong, saleable narratives. Athans applies all of these critical lessons together in an unprecedented deconstruction of a never-before-published tale by the one and only R. A. Salvatore! There are books on writing science fiction and fantasy, and then there’s this book—the only one you need to create strange, wonderful worlds for your own universe of readers. Review: Very informative - I rather enjoyed this guide. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. There are great examples and descriptions that helps me understand what they are talking about. It inspired me to continue writing my fantasy novel and helped me get an idea on structure. It's very informative and definitely recommend. Review: One of the best books on the subject! Perfect for first-time readers! - I've read a lot of these "how to write" genre books. This one is hands down my favorite. It's great for those reading their first how-to book on writing fantasy and science fiction. In the clearest language and using good examples, Athans makes plain what young writers need to look out for when crafting such stories. He identifies which barriers can be broken and which should be obeyed. Keep in mind, however, this is NOT a nuts and bolts approach to writing or submitting. It's more of an overview with general guidelines. Appropriate mostly for those just getting into the craft. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,214,539 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #33 in Science Fiction & Fantasy Writing #663 in Creative Writing Composition #1,674 in Words, Language & Grammar (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 241 Reviews | ## Images ![The Guide to Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction: 6 Steps to Writing and Publishing Your Bestseller! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814jURz0nBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative *by A***S on August 16, 2024* I rather enjoyed this guide.

Perfect for first-time readers! *by W***E on September 29, 2013* I've read a lot of these "how to write" genre books. This one is hands down my favorite. It's great for those reading their first how-to book on writing fantasy and science fiction.

I ate it up in a couple of days. There are certainly some solid pieces of advise on a variety of things, and the author has a good sense of humour (I guess you'd have to trying to make a living in this genre). It does in my opinion weigh a bit more to the Fantasy side of things, than the Sci-fi side, but that didn't bother me personally. What I didn't like is that it's fairly vague on some major issues. The section on publishing was very high-level, what one would expect in a "Publishing for Dummies" book. The guy is (was) an insider, so I wanted a few more juicy tidbits and secrets. He only hinted at some brutal realities in the industry, so I wonder if the editor held him back there. Regardless, I started reading his blog, which is a bit more bold and answers more questions. A solid 4 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Guide to Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction: 6 Steps to Writing and Publishing Your Bestseller! - Writing Fantasy & Science Fiction: How to Create Out-of-This-World Novels and Short Stories - The Only World Building Workbook You'll Ever Need: Your New Setting Bible (Series Bibles for Writers) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1351109-the-guide-to-writing-fantasy-and-science-fiction-6-steps](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1351109-the-guide-to-writing-fantasy-and-science-fiction-6-steps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
