Writefest Weekday Workshop: Science Fiction & Fantasy with Tex Thompson

Writefest kicks off with a series of four-day, genre-specific writing workshops. Held in beautiful artists' studios in Silver Street Studios, the Writefest Weekday Workshops will run Monday, May 27th - Thursday, May 30th, from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM. Today we're highlighting this year's Science Fiction & Fantasy workshop, taught by Tex Thompson!

Science fiction and fantasy is a wide-encompassing genre where anything can happen! It all boils down to the question of what if? What if humanity traveled to the stars? What if a young farmboy pulled a sword from a stone? Or, if you're this year's instructor, what if the world of a standard western is populated by all manner of fantastical creatures? Check out an excerpt from Tex's novel One Night in Sixes to get a glimpse of her imagination!

About the Writefest 19 Science Fiction & Fantasy Workshop
Speculative fiction is full of limitless possibilities: all you have to do is write a story that takes place outside the world as we know it. If only it were that simple! But whether you’re constructing a fantasy realm, inventing an alternate past, or postulating a post-apocalyptic future, some principles of good story-crafting are universal – and you can start applying them right away. Come learn the secrets of crafting innovative, believable, dynamic other-worlds that your readers will want to explore for years to come. 

This course includes:
  • sci-fi and fantasy worldbuilding
  • dialogue and dialect (real and invented)
  • character arcs and story architecture
  • story-planning and revision strategies

Writers of all levels are welcome. Come ready to share some of your work in progress!
