Introducing an exciting new series: WLT Off the Beaten Craft. A few times a year, the Writers’ League of Texas will host a free presentation from an author who knows their stuff, focused on a genre, form, or topic that we don’t often get to talk about. These “Off the Beaten Craft” presentations are free and open to all.
About the Event
Fanfiction offers a chance to hone your writing craft and have fun exploring the fictional worlds you love through a deeper engagement with their narrative foundations, storytelling techniques, and even their plot holes. In this Off the Beaten Craft presentation, Katharine will discuss how to use dialogue, action, and character description building to write compelling fanfiction; how fanfiction can inform and improve your original fiction writing process; and where to submit your fanfiction and find readers and community members in your chosen fandom.
RSVP and we’ll send you a link to the webinar.
Hope to “see” you there!
