We’ll explore the techniques you need to succeed in the field of speculative fiction, and discuss components essential to all fiction, character development, point of view, setting, description and voice. Discover how to write successful science fiction and fantasy as you outline a novel and draft the first chapter. In later sessions, we’ll touch on editing, and explore ways to get your fiction out into the world.

A Creative Writing Salon
6 weeks, Wednesday evenings, starting Wednesday 30 March
Beginning and experienced writers of short stories, poetry, novels and memoir are welcome to join us for this lively writing salon, which is a combination of writing class and critiquing circle. We’ll begin each session with prompts, tips and discussion, exploring plot, character development and more. The remaining portion of each session is given over to critique. Each week, two or three writers will be invited to present an excerpt from a work in progress for the purpose of receiving feedback; we’ll begin with experienced writers, allowing beginner writers time to create. Join us for this lively and creative workshop, whether you hope to kickstart your writing, or polish a manuscript already underway. Enrollment is limited to ensure all writers have the chance to share their work, so early registration is advised.
