Dream Castles: A Masterclass in Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy June 13, 2012

Dream Castles is a highly practical, follow-on course for those who have completed Terry Dowlings Magic Highways course. It is ideal for those who feel they have mastered many of the basics of good storytelling and are either completing a major writing project set in a science fiction, fantasy, urban fantasy or dark fantasy universe or are in the planning stages of tackling one. While the storytelling basics will be re-visited across the six meetings, this is an intensive hands-on program, and the focus will be on actual writing as well as the specific needs of the members individual projects. Note: Participants will be expected to produce written text for every class, as well as reading, critiquing and story-doctoring one anothers texts in terms of tone, style and content. Those attending should bring a sample piece of text to the first meeting for general appraisal. Details of this event may be subject to change.
