Sci-Fi & Fantasy Writing Group – Fall 2024

This class will combine lectures, readings, and critical discussions of student work. While focusing on the short form, novel extracts will also be considered. Each week, students will read a provided contemporary speculative fiction piece for discussion. There will be brief guided writing sessions during class time. A round robin critique session of student work will conclude each class, and instruction and guidance on where and how to submit stories for publication will be provided.

His stories have been published, reprinted, and translated around the world. He is the author of two recent critically acclaimed novellas published by Tor and his collection, Telling the Map, is widely regarded as one of the best of recent years.

This class is suitable for writers of all levels.
