Wild, Weird, and Supernatural: Sci-Fi and Fantasy Club for 10-14

Let’s see how far our imaginations can take us! This workshop is for students interested in the speculative fiction umbrella, which includes science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, horror, dystopian fiction, and surrealism. Together we'll learn craft elements like building magic and technology systems, writing superhuman and non-human characters, and constructing compelling themes like identity, justice, love, and friendship. We'll use prompts designed to build atypical characters and create inventive worlds. We'll study stories from skilled and diverse writers and apply what we learn from them to our own writing. No matter where you are in the writing process, you'll leave each session with new tools and most importantly, words on the page.
