On Tuesday, September 2, the R-SPEC Team will lead a panel-style discussion that delves into how the myriad speculative fiction genres came to be and how the most-popular ones are influencing the world.
Then, more importantly, we’ll focus on how readers and authors alike can use these categories to find fantastical stories to bolster their favorite reads and literary styles, how to watch for biases and marketing realities, and how to find and even create new genres to fire up your imaginations.
Come to the meeting with your favorite speculative fiction genres in mind and join us in what will surely be an intriguing literary exploration.
