Writer's Workshop If you use one of these links you might be leaving the Baltimore Science Fiction Society's site. BSFS, Inc. is not responsible for the content of sites to which we link. We hope they might contain something to amuse or illuminate you, but we do not control them. If you feel the link might be inappropriate, let us know at: "webmeister at bsfs dot org"

For those who want to improve your writing skills in the areas of science fiction and fantasy, the workshop is a place and time to discuss ideas, debate styles and comment on each others' work. We look at various aspects of writing:

1) Opening lines
2) Outlines
3) Themes
4) Character development
5) Story structure
6) Dialogue


In addition, we also discuss and debate those things that make SF&F different from 'mainsteam' literature: story ideas ranging from the dawn of time through the future, parallel worlds, civilizations human and non-human, technology advancing and threatening; settings near and far, on this planet and others, running across dimensions, travelling through the past and future; characters that are human, non-human, organic, inorgranic, physical and spiritual; settings ranging from worlds the size of a microbe to civilizations spanning galaxies. Yet all these connecting to us as people.

Having trouble with your short stories? We can work with you. Not sure how to write a novel? Talk to others who have done one or two. Wondering how to approach an editor, or how to write a cover letter? Let us help you. We don't guarantee story sales, but we do what we can to help you. If you have questions, write to writersworkshop at bsfs dot org. I look forward to hearing from you.
