Is your science fiction/fantasy/ghost story just begging to be written—or finished—if only you knew how? Do you have amazing ideas but are not quite sure how to get them onto the page? Join author JS Breukelaar for a workshop that will leave you with the skills and confidence to make your speculative fiction work stand out.

In this course you will use exercises designed specifically for writing speculative fiction, e.g. how to extrapolate science into futuristic technology, conjure new forms of magic, imagine beauty amid the ruins of fantastic urban terrains, and bring nightmares to life.

You will look at techniques focusing on world-building, character creation, plotting, dialogue, viewpoints, and avoiding cliché.

There will be discussion around genre conventions, current publishing trends, podcasts, comic books, trilogies and more.

This writing course, Writing Speculative Fiction with JS Breukelaar, takes place at Writing NSW in Sydney.
