Welcome to Getting Started with Speculative Fiction

with Eugen Bacon

In this course, we’ll get started with exploring the concept of speculative fiction. We will learn definitions, understand the ideas around world-building and explore the genres and subgenres of speculative fiction including fantasy, science fiction, horror and the paranormal.

There are five core modules exploring speculative fiction, each with creative exercises. Additionally, we have also incorporated an important sixth module with essential critical and cultural perspectives that may be significant in your speculative fiction. The final module after that is simply wrap up.

I hope the muse is sitting on your
shoulder.
