In the heart of a great city, experience what
great writers have to teach you about writing. This year's
Taddle Creek Summer Writers' Workshop includes a stellar
cast of instructors who can show you how to make your writing
successful.
Our four-day event is scheduled so you don't have to miss work
and features a workshop of your choice where you can learn
from an outstanding writer and have the chance to work one-on-one
with your instructor and access a great writer-in-residence.
We're also featuring evening readings, barbecue get-togethers
and seminars on publishing your work. All this and the experience
of intensive study in writing at Canada's most prestigious
university for a price that other workshops can't beat.
The Taddle Creek Summer Writers' Workshop is a rare opportunity
to experience the ambience of the "world within a world" of the
University of Toronto's famous Hart House while having the
benefits, stimulation and excitement close at-hand not only of
great writers but of Canada's largest city.
Science Fiction Workshop with Robert J. Sawyer
Science fiction is one of the most popular publishing categories
in the world, and Canadian writers are at the forefront, with
their works being eagerly bought by major New York publishers.
You'll learn a thematic approach to plotting, how to create
characters appropriate to your theme, how to design an alien
world and alien beings, the various subgenres of science fiction,
how to do research for writing SF, the rules for success in SF
publishing, and how and where to market and promote your work,
both in Canada and the U.S.
Robert J. Sawyer won the
Nebula Award (the "Academy Award" of the
SF field) for his novel The Terminal
Experiment; he is also the author of the novels Starplex, Frameshift, and Factoring Humanity, all of which were
finalists for the Hugo Award (SF's
international "People's Choice" award). For more information,
