Can you see robots taking over the world, creatures with magical traits, or a princess joining her own army? Science fiction and fantasy are generative spaces for dialogues that mirror the issues of our time. Considering such writers as Octavia Butler, N.K.

Start a novel, or strengthen one already begun, or even finish a short story during our exploration of speculative world-building techniques.
