This workshop will examine what it takes to build a “world” in a SpecFic universe, and will help you create believable, relatable characters in your speculative story universe, using a few basic principles to discover who your characters really are.
Speculative Fiction, by design, covers a wide range of story universes and world concepts- from the ancient and familiar to the bleeding edge of fantastic futures with exotic aliens and advanced technology, mystery, horror and other variations thrown into the melting pot of ‘SpecFic’. From world-building (setting) to plot to character development and all threads in between, there are key elements that go into building a good, readable story that readers can relate to – no matter how far-fetched or bizarre the setting or story-line might be. In order for your reader to connect with your story, the characters themselves need to be relatable, believable and, for all intents and purposes, they need to be 'real'.
The workshop costs $25 and morning tea will be served. Registration required.
The Trust Waikato Building is on Little London Lane, off London Street, Hamilton. The Trust has a sizable carpark and there's lots of parking outside and close by.
