Launch your sci-fi story ideas at the speed of light.

This bundle has everything you need to tell high-tech tales with real human stakes.

As one of the oldest and most enduring genres, science fiction is responsible for some of pop culture’s biggest franchises and literature’s most sophisticated tales. It uses futuristic concepts and designs to explore modern ideas through allegory and metaphor.

Whether you’re forecasting the future through well-researched hard science or looking to the stars and letting your imagination take over, your worlds need an internal logic and characters that are relatable to your readers.

When the stars are the limit, The Story Engine's Sci Fi Writer Essentials Bundle helps you navigate to any destination! 

These out-of-this-world writing prompts help you:

  • Build an intriguing and deep world (or worlds).
  • Explore obstacles and threats only possible in an otherworldly setting. 
  • Write sci-fi stories that center the human (or alien) characters using the technology.

A science fiction story can go anywhere and anywhen.

It can follow the daily struggles of a potato farmer on Mars, or a Middle American waitress fleeing a robot assassin from the future. It can forecast in meticulous detail how a technological pivot point could change the world as we know it, or it can describe the sound of every laser blast and explosion during a dogfight in space.

All it takes for a story to become science fiction is one “what if”.

What if an average person was bitten by a radioactive spider? What if a new technology destroyed the world? What if that houseboat was a starship instead? If you find the story you’re writing lacks something, perhaps it can take off with a dash off science fiction.

With this flexible tool for telling stories, you’ll be able to: 

  • Customize how much science fiction influences your setting.
  • Upgrade your technobabble placeholders with evocative descriptions. 
  • Use Aspects and Agents to create dynamic civilizations (and the individuals within them). 
  • Draw from different Boosters and Expansions to emphasize changes in locations. 
  • Ask big questions about your setting and story and find out what happens when people come face to face with impossible technologies.
