The Art of Writing: Springtime Sci-Fi Fantasy is a four-week SFF themed writing course.

Springtime is a time of rebirth, of seeing the world anew…and a perfect time to create your own world, using magic, technology, or a fun combination of both!

In this course, we’ll explore the different types of science fiction and fantasy, from hard sci-fi to soft and from high fantasy to urban, not just through writing but also discussing our favorite pop cultural examples.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of fresh writing, peer feedback, and practical tools to continue your writing journey beyond the workshop.

Come ready to write, share, and grow.

This workshop is open to writers of all levels and genres.
