Workbook #3: The Mechanics of Speculative Fiction: Eighteen of the top twenty grossing movies were speculative fiction. From Star Wars to Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings to The Dark Knight, speculative fiction movies and books have grossed billions of dollars. Why? The key tools used for writing speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) are highly specialised. If you don't know what these tools are or how to apply them it's unlikely that your story will ever be published, and it certainly won't end up at the Box Office.

This workbook is jam-packed with the fundamental tools you will need to write spec fic and a step-by-step guide explaining how they work, why they work, and why not using them will almost guarantee your story ends up in the editor's bin
