This is a snapshot of what we’re all about: a fun, supportive, and creative space to explore the craft of writing. From mastering technical skills to drawing inspiration from pop culture, these are some of our favorite recent themes that capture the spirit of the club.
The Writer's Toolkit: Mastering the Craft
We break down the fundamentals of great storytelling in these sessions. Learn about plot structures, writing compelling dialogue, mastering narrative voice, and using literary devices like foreshadowing to make your stories unforgettable. These workshops are perfect for both beginners looking to learn the basics and experienced writers wanting to sharpen their skills.
Creating Unforgettable Characters
Dive deep into the art of character creation. Our prompts will challenge you to explore everything from complex anti-heroes and flawed protagonists to writing from non-human perspectives and developing negative character arcs. We practice techniques like character journaling and exploring dual voices to bring your fictional people to life.
Genre Spotlight: From Horror to Sci-Fi
We love to play in different sandboxes. These sessions focus on specific genres, giving you a chance to write everything from spine-chilling horror and mind-bending sci-fi to high-stakes crime thrillers and poignant tragedies. We explore the tropes and techniques that make each genre unique.
Pop Culture Prompts
Find inspiration in the movies, music, and shows you love. We've hosted sessions inspired by everything from 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Matrix' to the music of Kendrick Lamar and the films of Imtiaz Ali. It's a fun way to analyze great storytelling and create your own spin on familiar worlds.
Writing from the Heart: Emotion & Experience
Some stories need to be felt as much as they are told. These workshops focus on human emotions and universal experiences like love, loss, hope, solitude, and friendship. We create a safe space to explore personal and difficult topics through the craft of fiction.
The Weird & The Wonderful: Abstract Prompts
Ready to get strange? This is where we explore absurdism, surrealism, and philosophical concepts. Prompts might include writing about alternate realities, animals as allegories, the Rashomon effect, or the pleasures of gibberish. It's a playground for your imagination.
