Step 2: Register for “Writing Liberatory Futures” here

What if we won? Premised on the belief that social movements need to imagine liberation in order to work toward it, this workshop will lead participants through writing liberatory speculative fiction in a near future. We will discuss different short story structures and create characters and story arcs collectively.
