Foraging for the Fantastic: Food & Drink in SpecFic
Saturday October 24th, 9am-11am PT
Guest Instructor: Cordell Vos
You may not know how far it is from Moria to Osgiliath, but you definitely know what Lembas Bread is. Including fantastical examples of food in your speculative fiction writing can take your worldbuilding from blah to beautiful. After all, food and drink fuel not just our bodies, but the worlds we live in.
Using examples from both real and fictional cultures, this 2-hour workshop will explore the ways that food and drink shape life, myth, and culture. Come with a new or existing project and prepare to feast.
