Science Fiction is a genre with infinite boundaries where anything can happen in the story. 

In this workshop, budding Science Fiction writers ( aged 11 - 19 years old) will be guided on the mechanics of writing  a good story. A good story is dependent on:

  • Memorable characters
  • Vivid setting/world
  • Plausible plots

The workshop will cover topics ranging from basic concepts and approaches, creation of 'worlds', the hero’s  journey and story creation. 

Participants will start work on a rough draft and receive feedback from 2011, 2007 Golden Point Award winner Hassan Hasaa’Ree Ali who will guide you through the steps in this 3 hour workshop.
