Instructor: Saundra Mitchell

In this workshop, we’re going to create a world together! Using the Dewey Decimal system, I will teach writers how to create, investigate and populate a new world for original fiction and non-fiction. As we work step by step through the elements of world building (what’s the weather like? The terrain? The language? The food?), participants will make notes for the final exercise: writing a letter home from their imaginary place! This program is a great foundational workshop for writers especially if you’re planning to participate in NaNoWriMo.

Writers are welcome to use laptops, Chromebooks or text programs on their phone. I will also provide a PDF of the presentation to use as handouts or for future reference.
