Writing Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction
March 25 @ 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm Pacific
Writing in the genres of horror, fantasy, and science fiction has its own challenges in comparison to other types of fiction with an added emphasis on elements that fans of these genres pay extra attention to, among them suspension of disbelief, world building, genre tropes, character development, plotting, pacing, structure, and many other other critical components. This interactive lecture will bring a new perspective to understanding what makes solid, well-paced stories that grab your audience, emotionally connect them with your characters, and pull them all the way through your hero’s journey to a powerful climax and rewarding resolution. Join Matt for a transformative in-depth discussion that will change the way you approach your writing and storytelling forever.
