Fifty Science Fiction Short Stories in Five Brand New Collections by New York Times Bestselling Writer Dean Wesley Smith!

This is my 60th Kickstarter campaign and we got a “Project We Love” from Kickstarter. Really cool. This the start of me getting out a bunch of my short stories finally. The base of this campaign is five science fiction 10-story collection. But there is a featured reward that you can get five more science fiction collections. And then in this, all the stretch goals will be brand new science fiction collections. And we are about to hit the first stretch goal!! So another collection for everyone.

My introduction on how this all came about. So much fun to see so many of my short stories finally see the light of publishing day after all these years.

Two Great Special Workshops…

These two classes are going to be so much fun. Here is the information about both, but remember they will never be available anywhere else after two days. And if you take one or both you get at least six of my original story collections, maybe more.

Workshop #1… 50 SCIENCE FICTION PROMPTS

In three weeks, we will give you fifty prompts and how to get started writing from each prompt. Ideas in science fiction are easy. Coming up with story prompts to get started and boil down the idea is the difficult part.

THIS IS A CRAFT WORKSHOP on writing science fiction in all of its many forms. How to start, where to focus, and the characters. This will be so much fun and for those of you who even think about writing science fiction, you will never fear starting a story again.

Workshop #2…. HOW TO USE “WHAT IF THIS GOES ON?” TO WRITE SCIENCE FICTION SHORT STORIES

Novels in science fiction allow you to explain so much, from world building to structure to conflicts and the science. But in science fiction short stories, you don’t have the word count to do all of that.

So how do you write science fiction short stories that have all the elements that readers need? What do you need to put in, take out, and ignore? There are techniques we can teach you on all of this.

But the main aspect of writing great science fiction is taking something today and asking the simple question: “What if this goes on?” Science fiction writers have been asking this question since the very beginning of the genre one hundred years ago. So how do you use that question to write great science fiction short stories?

This will be an intense craft workshop and will save you years of writing science fiction stories that no one reads.
