The author of this Course, Sean McMullen, sold his first stories in the late 1980s and has become one of Australia's top Fantasy and Science Fiction authors. In the late 90s he established himself in the American market, and his work has been translated into Polish, French, Japanese and other languages.The settings for Sean's work range from the Roman Empire, through Medieval Europe, to cities of the distant future. His work is a mixture of romance, invention and adventure, while populated by dynamic, strange and often hilarious characters.

This Course is designed to teach you how to write fantasy and science fiction in the true tradition of top authors like Sean McMullen. You will find this Course takes you through every aspect of this specialised craft - from developing your story ideas and turning them into publishable material, through to the business of promoting and selling your work and handling public engagements.

At the outset it is important for you to understand that this Course is not simply about the theory of science fiction writing. It's about becoming a writer, getting published and being paid for your work.
