Turn old stories into new ones!
Rachel Swirsky’s award winning speculative work draws on fairytales, mythology, and other forms. Let her show you how to do the same.
The next live class is Sunday, January 11, 9:30-11:30 AM, Pacific Time.
Authors constantly draw on the stories that have preceded them, particularly folklore, mythology, and fables. What are the best methods for approaching such material and what are the possible pitfall? How does one achieve originality when working with such familiar stories? Lecture, in-class exercise, and discussion will build your proficiency when working with such stories. Co-taught with Nebula-award winning writer Rachel Swirsky.
