Worldbuilding in Speculative Fiction

The Augur Literary Society

Join host Premee Mohamed in creating inventive and engaging worlds for your speculative stories.

Worldbuilding can be the most fun part of writing a genre novel—and it can also be the most frustrating! This workshop will focus on worldbuilding in sci-fi and fantasy, including developing the internal logic and reasoning of the world, how to build worlds that are 'just a little different' from ours, organizing components and ideas, using research to 'fill in' the holes, and some tips on guiding readers through an unfamiliar world without being intrusive or info-dumping.

Host: Premee MohamedPremee Mohamed is an Indo-Caribbean scientist and author based in Edmonton, Alberta. She writes science fiction, fantasy, horror, and all of the above in the same work. She can be found on Twitter at @premeesaurus and at her website at www.premeemohamed.com.
