Writing Great Fantasy Workshop with Rachel Faturoti
Are you ready to explore the magical world of fantasy writing? Join us for a unique workshop with author Rachel Faturoti, where we’ll dive deep into the genre and create our own fantastical worlds.
This workshop is specifically designed for us, Black Women and Women of Colour, creating a safe and supportive space for us to share our unique perspectives and experiences. Rachel will guide us through the process of crafting compelling characters, building intricate plots, and developing immersive settings. Whether you are a seasoned writer or just curious about fantasy, this workshop will provide valuable insights and inspiration to take your writing to the next level.
In this practical workshop, we will cover the following topics:
- Defining fantasy and its subgenres
- Crafting engaging characters

We’ll also talk about the publishing process and the current market for fantasy. You will leave the workshop energized and inspired to write, and hopefully, publish your own fantasy fiction.
