Worldbuilding for speculative fiction and games can be a daunting task, especially when it requires research in order to avoid replicating colonialist structures and viewpoints. That’s why we’re offering a special discount on our next two courses: Deep Dive Into Building Inclusive Worlds and Research Skills for Fiction Writers.

Register for both by August 10 for just $550 — normally $700!

You’ll learn from some of the best builders of speculative worlds in fiction, on screen, and in games — Steven Barnes, K. Tempest Bradford, Kate Elliott, Max Gladstone, Jaymee Goh, Lauren Jankowski, Pam Punzalan, Nisi Shawl, and Juliette Wade — who’ll guide you through key aspects of inclusive worldbuilding: Creating Cultures, Ideology, Religion, Cosmology, Sociobiology, Language, and more.

After that, research librarian Melody Steiner will walk you through the How Tos of research techniques starting with a question you want to answer for your own fiction, screenplay, or game.

To get this special offer, go to the registration page for either class and choose the Special ticket in the box at the bottom. Offer ends August 10.
