The first American woman author of Science Fiction was Andre Norton. She changed her first name and made is sound like a man's name because publishers thought the only readers of science fiction books were 12 year old boys.

Who knows anything about writing a syfi based novel?
Lots of people do. Robert Heinlein may have been the greatest science fiction writer ever, and he wrote several articles and at least one book on how to write science fiction. Many of the classic SF magazines like Analog, Galaxy, and S&SF periodically ran articles on how to write SF. Many of those old magazines are available at your library.These days, many SF writers have their own blogs; Sarah Hoyt and John Szalzi, to name only two. Jerry Pournelle may be the best living SF writer, with his friend Larry Niven; Pournelle has been writing his "day notes" column since the early 1990's, and may have been the first-ever "blog".But the best way to become a good science fiction WRITER is to READ a lot of science fiction.
