You will leave class each week with a deeper understanding of science fiction and fantasy craft, tips and tools to apply to your own work, and leave the end of the full class with feedback from every other student as well as notes from the teaching artist on how to improve or help your own work. The teaching artist may provide you with a reading list tailored to your own work to help you reach your goals with your manuscript. About half of class time will focus on student work (workshopping); the other half on instruction in craft, including world building, research strategies, character wounds, and plotting solutions. |
