Twist it inside-out or outside-in
Each chapter concludes two exercises—Twist It Inside-Out and Twist It Outside-In—that push you to reimagine familiar stories in unexpected ways. Push a sci-fi story into another genre or pull something completely unrelated into sci-fi! They’re perfect for stretching your storytelling skills and discovering new angles you might never have considered.
