The speculative fiction genre is presenting more opportunity for innovation than ever before. Whether your interest is in hard science fiction, epic fantasy, or any of the sub-genres that allow you to create new worlds tailored to your vision, this class is for you. In five sessions, you will learn how to create a consistent world and believable alien/fantastic characters, how to focus a story that enhances the world rather than being lost in it, and how to balance respect for speculative fiction traditions with originality.
