ONLINE Near Future: Writing Speculative Fiction
4 Weeks | Wednesdays | Begins October 9, 2024 | 1PM-3PM MT
Instructor: Sage Tyrtle
MEMBER PRICE: $150.00
NON-MEMBER PRICE: $200.00
We all had ideas of what life would be like in 2020, and I bet we were mostly wrong. I know I was! Join me to talk about the wondrous and scary world of Near Future Speculative Fiction. All fiction involves creating our own worlds, but Near Future adds in PROPHECY. You get to look at the world as it is and decide how it changes and the ways that affects your characters, setting, and plot. We'll look at Near Future novels and short stories, write to generative prompts, and there will be (entirely optional) space for sharing that writing.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
