Speculative fiction is all around us: in film, TV and the prognostications of Earth’s future. It can vary from alternate worlds (Nazis win WW2), to near-future thrillers, supernatural romances, space opera (Star Trek novels) and dispatches from the frontiers of the human imagination. The challenge in this series of workshops is to write a speculative fiction novel in 2009, workshop it and learn how to market it – even sell it!
Award-winning writer Lucy Sussex hosts the challenge, which includes guest spots from editors, publishers and publicists. To be eligible, sample chapters and story outlines are required to be submitted by Friday 6 March (max 1000 words).
