About This Course
For writers with a minimum of 50 pages of a science fiction and fantasy novel-in-progress, this workshop guides them to generate 50 additional pages. Writers often experience lack of direction or stamina at this middle stage in their novel. This workshop thus focuses on craft tools orbiting subjects such as worldbuilding, infodump-hiding, scenecraft and character development to enter scenes in fresh, inspiring ways. This craft-heavy course emphasizes prompts, exercises and games to help writers rotate their scenes and find innovative points of entry and framing. Writers will complete the workshop with an additional 50 pages, as well as a more robust arsenal of craft skills particularly useful for science fiction and fantasy works.
