Our customer reviews
Not the best how to write speculative fiction book iv read but by far not the worst, this book is quite short and a definite easy read. I feel like a lot more could have been written and a few times felt like OSC WANTED to keep writing but was restricted on the quantity.
at saying this it did introduce a few new ideas to me and as such was well worth its price
a good book for the commute and reference but don't expect a full blown how to write bookshow more
