World Building for Fantasy Worlds

R-SPEC holds its Annual Meeting during the first half-hour of the February meeting. We'll review our accomplishments in 2017 and elect board members for the coming year. This meeting is open to the public, but only paid R-SPEC members are eligible to be on the board and to vote in the elections.

Then you’ll put on your metaphorical overalls, grab your literary toolboxes, and tackle the foundations that support your fantasy story or novel. Our panelists will help you explore how to create believable imaginary worlds in which your characters and plot can come to life and thrive.

You are invited to share your world building ideas and discuss topics ranging from using known settings in urban or historical fantasies to creating key elements from scratch to bolster heroic or magical fantasies. Creating what is needed to tell your story helps you start writing, and thinking about how to weave settings and backgrounds around your characters and plot helps you finish writing.

Panel: Alan Vincent Michaels, Eric Scoles, Ted Wenskus, Hugh Sullivan
Moderator: Lynn Spitz
Location: Barnes & Noble, Pittsford
Meeting Time: February 6, 2018 from 7-9 p.m.
