Year of SF & Fantasy
Saturday 27 March 2010 - Saturday 27 November 2010
Paul Collins is the creator and co-creator of worlds such as Q’zar, Quentaris, Grrym and post-holocaust Earth. Join him and like-minded colleagues during 2010 in creating your own fantasy and science-fiction worlds. With over 120 novels and 140 short stories published, and editor of countless anthologies, Paul guides you through the process of writing your own novel. Participants also gain from brainstorming ideas with others during the year. This is a very practical course where the outcome should be a completed, polished novel, ready to submit to publishers.
Paul Collins is best known for The Earthborn Wars, The Jelindel Chronicles, The Quentaris Chronicles, which he co-edits with Michael Pryor, and The World of Grrym trilogy in collaboration with Danny Willis. Paul has won the Aurealis, William Atheling and the inaugural Peter McNamara awards. He is also the publisher at Ford Street Publishing.
