Stranger than Fiction: Stepping into Speculation (ages 14-18)
$150
Explore what it means to be alive in our current world through the weird and expansive genre of speculative fiction that gives us a way to look at social and/or environmental worries by following the thoughts of “if only-”, “what if”, and “if this goes on” in short story form. This 3-part series is for young people with an interest in writing fiction about social and/or environmental subjects but don’t know where to start, or are currently working on a story. We will have collective brainstorming time, focus on specific character experiences in an imagined world, and ways to make the story come alive as well as reach our endings.
