Sci-fi & fantasy writing advanced 2

Back to courses overview

Entry requirements: This course is intended for students who have already taken the introductory Sci-fi and Fantasy writing course, or those who feel confident enough in their abilities to skip that one.

Delve deeper into the literature of the unreal. The first three weeks of this course are for writing exercises. You’ll write about gender systems, nonhuman consciousnesses, and the complicated feelings in a city during the coronation of an unloved king. You’ll then start working on a short story. The following three weeks are for writing in class. Both the teacher and your classmates will be available to read your work in progress and provide feedback and critique. During our final session, we will discuss each other’s work.
