Imagining the Future: A Speculative Fiction Writing Workshop (Tacoma)

We will meet near the entrance. If you can't find us, contact Richelle at 253-376-0340.

Science fiction isn’t just about men in a lab or robots in space—it’s also about us, all of us, our families and our communities.

In this hybrid lecture and interactive writing workshop, audiences will learn a brief history and definitions of speculative fiction—an umbrella term that encompasses the genres of science fiction, fantasy, space opera, supernatural, horror, etc. We’ll then engage in writing exercises to give participants an opportunity to write in the genre, starting with a warm-up prompt before tackling questions about how issues like climate change, genetic manipulation, or artificial intelligence might affect them in the decades to come.
