Discover the extraordinary within your own history. This writing workshop empowers you to merge your true personal narratives with the compelling frameworks of speculative fiction.


Move beyond mere memoir. We’ll explore methods to refract your lived experiences through lenses of the surreal, the alternate, and the imagined futures. The focus is on using speculative elements as powerful tools to illuminate, exaggerate, and interrogate the deepest truths of your authentic story. Your reality provides the anchor; together, we will build the strange and wonderful ship.
Gain a mastery of structure and plot to use in all your writing with award-winning author Lavie Tidhar. Get new tools for addressing problems, including Lavie's own personal checklist.
Learn from award-winning author, KC Grifant. Get practical tools to elevate your short fiction, as as a roadmap for getting your work into magazines, anthologies, podcasts, and more.

I wanted to take a moment to personally respond and let you know that what y’all are doing is meaningful and appreciated. Please keep it up, I’m looking forward to my next course! Thank you so much for helping us reach our apex!
