Let’s see how far our imaginations can take us! This workshop is for writers interested in genres within the speculative fiction umbrella. Genres that ask “what if?” are all welcome including sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, horror, dystopian fiction, and surrealism. Throughout the week, we'll play with prompts designed to help us build complex and atypical characters and invent fascinating new worlds. We'll also read stories from skilled and diverse writers and apply what we learn from them to our own writing. Students will complete one short story and/or multiple chapters of a novel-length piece in addition to some visual art.This camp is designed to be a supportive space for young writers to build community and sharpen their writing practice. No matter where we are in our writing process, we’ll leave each session with new tools and inspiration to enhance our work and most importantly, words on the page.
