It's time for another Speculative Fiction Crash Course!

-

Long time no workshop! Well, good news - there are going to be more in the future, the first one happening this month. I will be running my Speculative Fiction Crash Course once more through Scrib Lab!

When? Sunday, April 24th, 2pm-3:30pm Eastern

Where? Online via Zoom

Workshop Description: What is speculative fiction, anyway? How does one go about writing the fantastic? And why is it important? In this exciting workshop, we'll answer these questions by looking at key elements of craft, examining what this grouping of genres encompasses, and discovering the history and influences upon it. There will be prompts and time to write in class so students can explore speculative writing for themselves.

Free Writing Workshop August 26th: Speed Date With Your Protagonist

-
  When writing fiction, your protagonist is the center point. There must be a reason your readers want to get to the end of the story, and seeing what happens to your protagonist is a key motivator. Your readers don't have to like your protagonist, your protagonist doesn't have to be the "good guy," but they do need to be compelling. This is a prompt-focused writing workshop to help you build the strongest main character you can. Come ready with your protagonist and your preferred tools to write!  The workshop is virtual over Zoom on July 22nd 2:00 pm-3:30 pm Eastern/11:00 am-12:30 pm Pacific  Sign Up This is a free virtual workshop through SCRiB LAB.  Find out more about this and other free writing workshops and resources on their website!

Prompt #42: Does your character have a home to go back to?  Or is it home they're running away from?
