Description

Science fiction and fantasy novels take us to far-away places, but how do you make those places seem real? Alex Kourvo and Bethany Neal will be joined by authors Zig Zag Claybourne, Jim Hines, and Catherine Shaffer for a panel discussion about world building. From landscapes to weapons to magic systems, this panel of experienced authors will give you new insights into bringing your imaginary world to life.

This event is part of the monthly Emerging Writers Workshops, which offer support, learning, and advice for local authors. Each month, two weeks after the workshop, there is a meet-up where the instructors are available to review samples of your work and offer advice and assistance in a casual, supportive atmosphere.
