JOIN US
From alternative history to post-apocalyptic futures, speculative fiction covers a wide range of genres. Join us as we explore the possibilities at our Schmooze on Wednesday, February 26, at 10 a.m. in the College Station Barnes & Noble.
Then plan to learn more at "Writing Speculative Fiction
for Kids and Teens," a morning workshop on March 22 with acclaimed fantasy
author Martha Wells. She will offer her expert overview of speculative fiction,
including tips, resources, exercises and practical advice. Bring your questions
for a time of Q&A. Copies of Martha’s books will be available for
purchase—cash or check only. We look forward to seeing you!
Registration for the workshop is $20 for SCBWI members or
$25 for non-members. Seating is limited. Please let us know you are coming by
emailing brazosvalley@scbwi.org and then paying at the door.
