Ron Tanner and Ben Warner present: SPECULATIVE FICTION: A WRITER'S GUIDE AND ANTHOLOGY
Join us for an evening with Ron Tanner and Ben Warner as they introduce their new book, Speculative Fiction: A Writer’s Guide and Anthology (Bloomsbury): a book designed to help writers and teachers of writing explore and develop their understanding of this broad and increasingly popular genre.
Whether you’re interested in horror, science fiction, fantasy, time travel, lost worlds and so much more under the speculative fiction umbrella, you will find this book valuable.
Speculative Fiction: A Writer’s Guide and Anthology contains not only exercises, student examples of writing, and historical/cultural backgrounds of key developments in the genre but also an impressive anthology of stories from such writers as Joyce Carol Oates, George Saunders, and Rebecca Roanhorse.
For tonight’s presentation, Ron will explain why the discovery of dinosaur fossils might be the most important development in the rise of speculative fiction. Ben will then read a hilarious, and now iconic, story from the anthology. Their brief presentation will be followed by Q&A about this monstrous genre we call speculative fiction.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
