Class

Fantasy World Immersion for Ages 15 to 18

Welcome back to Summer Youth at Open Book! Join us for a week of writing and all day creativity!

Ever wondered what it takes to create the page turning heroes and heroines of your favorite fantasy novel? In this class, you will explore the emotional depth necessary to create a compelling character, the ability to smell, taste and see your fantasy world as a sensory experience, the foundation of an outline, authentic dialogue, and more. Join author Aurora Whittet Best by weaving words into worlds as she demonstrates her approach to complex fantasy novels. Build and enrich your fantasy world rules with myths, legends, and folklore to create the foundation of your next story. We will also work to overcome your own obstacles and fears and embrace the power of being a storyteller with in-class workshopping.
