Intermediate 6 Sessions
6 Sessions This workshop is focused entirely around weird stories—the ones that are bizarre and uncanny and don’t quite fit anywhere else. Each week, we'll discuss aspects of creating a weird story such as worldbuilding, genre expectations, and publication options. We'll look at weird stories from authors like Kim Fu, Aimee Bender, and others. We'll also workshop each other's writing, safe in the knowledge that we're surrounded by our fellow weirdos.
