Writing Dystopian, Apocalyptic, and Post-Apocalyptic Fiction

Fascinated with end-of-the-world stories? Or what it might be like to live after the end? Or societies gone wrong? This workshop will help you explore what makes an end-of-the-world story so you can write your own.

Fiction writing workshops for aspiring and published writers

Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, explore new interests, or embark on a journey to better your writing craft, my platform has something for everyone.

I'm working to provide more workshop content as PDFs which you can use to study at your own pace. Currently, there is no instructor feedback for these PDFs so I'm offering the workshop content at a reduced price.
