It's been said that fantasy is for the heart, science fiction is for the mind, and horror is for the skin. How do we identify the conventions expected by readers, and how can you bring your own creativity to subvert them? Come to this course prepared to workshop your own short stories or novel openings, to improve your craft with the goal of publication.
This class takes place IN PERSON at the Alexandra Writers Centre Society.
Susan Forest is the author of dual Aurora Award-winners Bursts of Fire (2019) and Flights of Marigold (2020) as well as over 25 internationally-published short stories (Analog, Asimov's, Beneath Ceaseless Skies). She edits an award-winning anthology series for Laksa Media Groups, and was Editor Guest of Honour at Keycon in 2022. Gathering of Ghosts, the third novel of her Addicted to Heaven series (2023) confronts issues of addictions in an epic fantasy world of intrigue and betrayal.
