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.
