In-Person Events

Gone are the days of hiding genre writing like kids reading comics under the covers. If creative writing programs are to survive both dwindling enrollment and a robot apocalypse, we must develop workshops of interest to twenty-first century writers. Genre fiction strategies and knowledge are required in the inclusive teacher’s tool kit. With hopepunk for the future, escape with us to our well-stocked bunker for genre-specific teaching tactics that are resonant, joyful, subversive, swoon-worthy, and fun. Panelists will present workshop tips for fantasy, sci-fi, romance, horror, and crime.
