Amazing Tales: An Introduction to Writing Science Fiction with Ian Nettleton
Mon 24 Sep 2018 to Mon 10 Dec 2018
This course is for people interested in writing short science fiction tales, whether they are newcomers to the genre or have some experience. Using short stories and excerpts from novels, film clips and artwork, this course will ultimately help you to draft and complete a short story in this exciting genre. Designed by the University of East Anglia and the National Centre for Writing.
The course will help you to explore everything from where great science fiction story ideas come from, through creating plausible, sometimes fantastical worlds and characters to inhabit those worlds, to the plot and emotional story and how this affects how your tale is told.
Ian Nettleton is from the north of England but he has lived in Norwich for two decades. His novelette, Falling Star, was published in a science fiction anthology, Angles, in 2008 and his novel, The Last Migration, was runner-up in the inaugural Bath Novel Award 2014 and runner-up in the inaugural Bridport Prize Peggy Chapman-Andrews Award 2014. He teaches creative writing at the Open University (undergraduate and MA) and the University of East Anglia.
