Fire When Ready: Writing Flintlock Fantasy

Instructor: Django Wexler

This class will be given Sunday, June 10, 2018, 9:30-11:30 AM Pacific time. Cost is $99 for new students; $79 for returning students and Patreon supporters.

Steampunk’s cousin, flintlock fantasy, has emerged as its own genre, relying on gunpowder technology rather than steam. Join Django Wexler as he discusses the ins and outs of writing his flintlock fantasy The Shadow Campaigns series and what you need to watch out for in working with this genre.

Live classes are taught online via Google hangouts, are limited to 15 participants, and require reliable Internet connection, although in the past participants have logged on from coffee shops, cafes, and even an airplane. A webcam is strongly suggested but not required. If there is an on-demand version of the class, you will be provided with a free coupon for it, so you have access to those notes.

Free scholarships: If you cannot afford a class but really want to take one, apply for a Plunkett Scholarship. Each class has a slot reserved for such a student, and the sole criteria is that you can’t afford the class but really think it would be useful for you. To apply, mail me with your name, the class name/date, and a brief statement about why you want to take the class. QUILTBAG and PoC candidates are especially encouraged to apply. The Plunkett Scholarships are named for Edward Plunkett, who wrote as Lord Dunsany. Scholarship recipients will be notified the week before the class.
