Our speaker will join us from the UK on Zoom.In this talk, we will cover outlining, plotting, and writing short form fiction (short story up to novella length) and the key differences between this and planning a novel length work. We will discuss this using examples of works of fantasy and science fiction, and simultaneously examine where these genres intersect with horror and how this influence can strengthen your work.
