Blast Off! Intro to Science Fiction/Fantasy Writing

Are you writing epic tales set on other worlds in alternate universes? Are your stories full of characters with superhuman powers, subjects of dystopic regimes, or gifted with technological wonders we haven’t achieved yet? Join us for a workshop designed by a published author (and professor, and hopeless devotee of science fiction) for a science fiction and fantasy discussion and writing exercises. Leave with a better understanding of your characters, development of your world, and directions for your short stories or novels. Taught by Damian Johansson, an adjunct professor at the University of St. Thomas. This program is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
