[Workshop] How to Construct an Unforgettable WorldWorld-building isn’t just for science fiction and fantasy— it’s the secret ingredient that brings every genre to life. Whether you’re crafting historical novels, gritty thrillers, romantic suspense, memoirs, creative nonfiction, or even literotica, mastering world-building will do more than just draw readers into your world; they’ll crave to return to it, losing themselves in its vivid details time and time again. Join speculative fiction author and Milford (UK) fellow Victor Fernando R. Ocampo in this hands-on, interactive deep dive as he guides you through techniques and methods to imagine new worlds and explore what it would be like to live in them. This workshop embraces the radical, the absurd, and the improbable— no matter the genre. Workshop Facilitator: Victor R. Ocampo |
