Beam aboard your own Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror classroom with *Spec Fic for Newbies*! Ideal for students or for those who always wished they could have studied these exciting fields!

Based on Tiffani Angus and Val Nolan’s combined 20+ years of classroom experience teaching literature and creative writing, this book offers aspiring Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror writers (as well as those wishing to teach them!) a variety of entry points into these exciting and popular subgenres.

The three fields are broken down into bite-sized subgenres with a fun, open, and contemporary approach. Each chapter contains 10 subgenres or tropes, with a quick and nerdy history of each derived from classroom teaching practices, along with a list of potential pitfalls, a description of why it’s fun to write in these subgenres, as well as activities for new writers to try out and to get them started!

The thirty subgenres include the likes of: Aliens! Big Dumb Objects! Solarpunk! Urban Fantasy! Cosmic Horror! Vampires! Zombies! Spaceships! And more! It's the next best thing to being in class with novelist Tiffani Angus and academic Val Nolan (past winner of Aberystwyth University Lecturer of the Year)!
