Building New Worlds How can a world create a story—and a story create a world? In this two-day Science Fiction & Fantasy writing workshop, you’ll discover and design your own new universe, while exploring how narratives, images, and ideas take shape in the imagination. Guided by author and theorist Mark von Schlegell, you’ll work alongside fellow makers to generate and develop writing supporting whatever artistic genre you practice, literary, visual and beyond.
