Ben Bova's craft guide draws on his years editing Analog and Omni and his own career as a novelist. It walks through the elements of selling science fiction step by step: idea, character, plot, and the market. It suits writers who want practical, editor's-eye advice rather than theory. It is an older guide, so its market advice reflects the magazine and book world Bova knew, but its craft lessons hold up against newer writing manuals.
