Class Notes:
What fantastic world will you write? In this craft class, you will build a world, write a short story, and expand it into a longer work of fiction up to twenty-five pages as is characteristic for the overall genre. Your work of fiction might be alternate history, apocalyptic fiction, cyberpunk, magical realism, speculative fiction, sword and sorcery, or another sub-genre. Along the way, your instructor will introduce you to classic and contemporary science fiction and fantasy short stories, including those written by Black, Brown, female-identified and/or queer writers. Each week, your instructor will also give mini-lectures about topics of interest and provide you with writing exercises and prompts that are peculiar to this genre.
