Learn from one of the hottest up and coming fiction writers in The Twin Cities: David Oppegaard. Oppegaard is the Bram Stoker nominated author of The Suicide Collectors, and Wormwood Nevada.

Act fast! The space is limited: Grounding The Fantastic!

From the Loft's class page:
"A multigenre class open to all levels of students interested in literary fantasy, horror, and science fiction, this class will focus on creating a realistic story that grounds even the most unusual tale in a recognizable world. Inspired by authors as varied as Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy, and Toni Morrison, this class will discuss several multigenre craft topics and use in-class writing exercises to further investigate these storytelling methods. Then, using what we have learned, we will read and reflect upon one another’s stories in a workshop-style discussion facilitated by the teaching artist. Together, we will go down the rabbit hole of slipstream fiction and discover the multitude of possibilities waiting on the other side. $5.00 copy fee payable to the teaching artist."
