Reimagining The Future Through Speculative Writing, with Brandon O'Brien

Science fiction and fantasy writers have always held time travelling tools in their hands: that uncanny ability to project the deep concerns of the present into clarion calls towards future revolutions. Give your own speculative fiction work in any genre its own portal to empowerment, in this interactive two-part masterclass with Poet Laureate of the 2025 World Science Fiction Convention in Seattle, Washington, Brandon O’Brien. Whether you’re penning an epic long-form poem about a soucouyant, or drafting a dystopian novel set in downtown Port of Spain in the year 3000, you’ll receive writing prompts, guided exercises and intuitive feedback designed to make your work soar.
