Steve’s Recommendation
Not sure where to start? The Skillshare brainstorm is ideal. In about an hour you’ll have a world concept, a protagonist, and a plot outline that tells you whether you’re writing sci-fi, fantasy, or something beautifully in between.
If you already have a world in your head and just need the craft to bring it to the page, the book is your best companion. Keep it beside you as a reference throughout the writing process.
For writers serious about finishing and publishing a genre novel, the Author’s Success Bundle gives you personal access to me plus every course on craft, editing, and publishing. That’s the path I’d recommend for anyone building a career in speculative fiction.
