Ben Bova has extensive experience as an editor and writer in the science fiction genre and has won many awards. This book has step by step details explaining how to write science fiction that will help the writer polish a short story or manuscript for longer works to the writers best ability making it possible for the work to be noticed and perhaps published.

The examples are short stories that have been explained thoroughly showing what to strive for when writing science fiction, but that will also work for most other genres. The analysis is understandable and goes into craft, editing, and what needs to be considered in order to find the right publishers for a particular project.

This book is good for writers at any level who want to hone their writing skills, edit their work to a polished glee, and find the right editors, agents, and publishers who will buy their materials.

I liked all of the book especially the writing style and details explaining what is needed in a story or longer work.

I would have liked to have more information because I am all about the details, but sadly I reached the end of the book quicker than I expected.

I desire to read and thoroughly study this book because I was able to grasp better than before the necessities needed for writing materials that a publisher is seeking to purchase.

It helped me to know I have potential to write better and gave me the desire to write the very best I can and build on my skills.

This book is a fabulous treasury of important information for writers and people who are interested in learning about the writing business.

I like this book very much because it is for me so far the best reference guide full of precious treasure that can help any writer improve their writing skills. It can be applied to various genres, and in many circumstances many educational circumstances related to writing.

For me this is an action and adventure book into the craft of writing, a thriller because I'm thrilled to have this information, a mystery solved because I have better understand, and a how-to because it addresses so many aspects of the writing business and craft. Anyone looking to be entertained should seek a different book.

For me this book is like having a highly skilled, highly paid tutor available 24/7 who never gets tired of teaching.
