SFCWI Presents: Introduction to Fiction Workshop

Join us at SF Creative Writing Institute for this great workshop w/ Speculative Fiction expert, Nick Mamatas!

If you've ever tried to write fiction, you may have asked yourself:

Where does my story start?

How on Earth do I keep it going?

What’s the difference between ending a story and just stopping it?

Regardless of genre, length, or form, every story has a beginning, middle, and an ending—in no particular order. Beginning writers often start their stories in the wrong place, confuse action with plot, and then end a scene a bit too early… or too late.

In six weeks, award-winning novelist, anthologist, and editor Nick Mamatas will guide you up and down the path of storytelling—through the architecture of fiction.

Nick acquires novels and short fiction, and knows what agents and editors are looking for in today’s marketplace. His work is acclaimed by critics, and praise from outfits like Publishers Weekly and Booklist prove he knows how to keep a reader engaged. This workshop will give you the tools you need to move through a story with confidence—whether it’s a novel, novella, or short story.

No more getting lost.
