Workshopping at Alt.Fiction
As I posted about three weeks ago, I’ll be one of about a dozen or so
writers conducting one hour workshops at Alt.Fiction on the 25th and 26th of June.
Others include Dan Abnett, Tony Ballantyne, Paul Finch, Graham Joyce, Paul Kane & Marie O’Regan, Kim Lakin-Smith and Juliet E. McKenna.
It’s going to be left to the individual tutor what subject they cover, and what methods they use.
At the moment workshops are predominantly fantasy or at least cross-genre oriented, so I’ll be focusing on SF. The workshop will be titled ‘Creating A Science Fictional Setting’ and (subject to change) will run between 3 and 4 p.m. on Saturday 25th.
I’ll be happy to workshop previously written pieces, specifically from the perspective of how the setting is worked out and explained (although time permitting, we’ll look holistically at the entire story), but if you’re attending and you don’t have any previously written work, I’m quite prepared to collectively workshop settings from scratch.
You decide. If you want to go, here’s the link to the membership page. I hope you come – the more brains we bring to this the better!
