Once your first draft is written, how and where do you start the revision process? How do you teach your readers to embrace your world and characters? This course meets on two successive Saturdays.

In this workshop, we’ll work on creating the kind of backdrop from which you can build a rich, in-depth speculative world.

What drives the structure of your speculative fiction story? Are there other forms that might work better?

How do you make a romantic storyline work within the fantastic world you’re creating?

Ghosts are hallmarks of the horror genre, but can be important in other genres as well. Might a ghost hang around to protect, or to make friends? What purpose(s) can a ghost serve in a story?

Learn from a panel of writers about tailoring your stories for young audiences.

This panel will tackle a range of overlapping, diverse experiences and how the inclusion of these experiences works to create a 'real world' in your fiction.

In this generative workshop, we’ll explore techniques for enriching your worldbuilding through the sensory details of taste.

How and where do you start the revision process? This workshop will approach revision as both a practice and a creative endeavor.

In this generative workshop offered through Writespace, we will write into the unreal, stretching our creative tentacles in a variety of subgenres and themes.
