Writing compelling speculative fiction doesn’t always require the creation of a whole new world—a little weird can go a long way. In this generative class, we’ll explore three ways of unlocking new stories: crafting narratives from common expressions, gleaning horror from unfinished business, and using deliberate paradoxes. The class is suitable for a wide audience, from those who are new to speculative fiction to experienced authors looking for a little burst of inspiration (or a break from that stalled work in progress).
