Imagined Histories
Saturday, May 3 | 10:00 am - 1:00 pm MT
This is a space where historical characters, false documents, talismanic objects, and forgotten stories collide with fiction, to seed, inspire, open, and question the authority of the facts as they have already been written. This kind of rigorous re-imagining can be a generative entry point for our work. Together, we will discuss the choices we can make in terms of framing, voice, research, and invention, in order to expand the possibilities of our fictional worlds, and observe the ways in which writers blur the line between fiction and fact to write worlds that are vivid, expansive, and emotionally specific.
Note: This is a virtual workshop hosted on Zoom. If you purchase the Live Zoom Session, you will receive your session an hour before the event. If you purchase the workshop recording, you will receive a link to the session 48 hours after the end of the live event.
