Writing Climate Fiction

Join Alice Robinson in this full day course about writing climate fiction.

Attempting to write strong climate fiction invites all kinds of possibilities. Climate fiction can involve drawing together real-world observation with speculative leaps of imagination. It can utilise literary and / or genre writing techniques for utopian or apocalyptic outcomes. It can be set in our known world, or in invented lands; in the present, past or future; involve human and / or nonhuman characters; and take up a range of forms from the traditional to the experimental. Join award winning ‘cli-fi’ writer Alice Robinson for this one-day hands-on exploration of writing the climate.
