I have three new writing workshops coming up in June and July! Building on the success of Design-A-Ghost, I'd like to invite you to join me to explore some more familiar characters from #SFF and #horror by reading extracts from classic and contemporary authors together, and then using writing prompts and exercises to create your own unique monsters, aliens, and robots! 👹👽🤖

Liebe #Autor_innen

ich gebe am 13.04. einen Workshop zu belletristischen KI-Texten. Nein, ihr sollt euch NICHT von der KI ersetzen lassen. Es geht darum, zu verstehen, wie solche Texte aufgebaut wird, was ihnen an erzählerischen Mitteln fehlt und wie sie sich von menschlichen Werken unterscheiden. Und wie wir mit unserem Schreibhandwerk lebendigere und diversere Texte schreiben.

12PM EST | Masterclass: Finding Your Voice with Francine Cunningham
This free masterclass will help participants clarify the place within which they are writing from. We will define what their personal goals are for their writing and how to access that truthful place for their voice to live. Participants will be expected to take part in some writing activities and hopefully feel comfortable sharing throughout the process. This is an interactive workshop that will provide sparks for creation and impart knowledge on different ways of approaching your own life story. #WritingCommunity @indigenousauthors #WritingWorkshop

Eeee just got the proofs of a poem I wrote which is coming out in a journal soon! Especially proud as it's sci-fi, which I find quite challenging as a non-scientist.

I wrote an article on writing bios after getting so many mediocre ones for writing conferences. Just posted it on my blog:
