NW MediaArts Presents Fantastic Fiction Workshops, Autumn 2007, Seattle, Washington

The literature of speculative fiction provides the perfect oeuvre to hold a mirror up to humanity and look at who we are and what we might become. By telling tales of "the other" we discover ourselves. By projecting current trends forward, we ask "what if?" and compare the world that is with worlds that might be. Fantastic fiction has long been the home of astute social commentary and in-depth exploration of what it means to be human. Important work is being written in the realm of fantasy, science fiction, mythic and fabulist fiction, and these workshops provide an opportunity to work with masters of the field.

The Fantastic Fiction workshop series provides you with the opportunity to work with critically acclaimed authors to sharpen your skills and further your craft. Each author will teach a one-day Sunday workshop and give a reading and book signing for the general public the following day, Monday, at 7 pm. Workshops include discussion, in-class writing exercises, and critiquing. Register for workshops at Richard Hugo House by phone, email, or on-line.

The workshops will be held at Richard Hugo House, Seattle, WA.
