Arvon: Science Fiction and Fantasy with tutors Emma Newman and Peter Newman
Mon 20 Aug 2018 to Sat 25 Aug 2018
Science fiction and fantasy encompass a dazzling array of potential worlds and stories. The scope is so wide it can be hard to know where to begin. Designed for budding writers of SFF, this course gives you the tools to understand the opportunities these exciting genres can offer.
We will cover specialised techniques such as world building, the creation of magical and technological ‘systems’, and a robust grounding in aspects of the craft – storytelling, character creation and writing style. This course also gives you the opportunity to examine and overcome your own writing blocks.
Tutors:
Emma Newman is the British Fantasy Award (best short story) 2015 winner. Between Two Thorns was nominated for several awards. Her science fiction novels include Planetfall and After Atlas.
Peter Newman’s The Vagrant was shortlisted for a British Fantasy Award and won the David Gemmell Morningstar Award in 2016. He is currently working on a new series called The Deathless which will be published in 2018.
Guest Gareth L Powell is the author of six novels, including Embers of War and the BSFA Award-winning Ack-Ack Macaque, as well as two short story collections.
