Creating Fictional (or Fantastical!) Worlds offers participants a chance to work with Dr. Karin Hooks and Author Mari LaRoche in creating their own fictional and/or fantastical worlds. It will cover subjects such as how to decide on which world to use, if you will include any fantastical elements, how to create those elements if you do include them, and how to populate that world so that it's realistic to your readers. This class is open to writers of all levels, from emerging to expert.
