Speculative Fiction
is a strange catch-all genre. What does it mean?
What counts as speculative fiction and (perhaps more
importantly) how do you write it and sell it? From
science fiction to fantasy to horror, speculative fiction
is a wide field that thrives on imagining different worlds,
and on imagining our world differently. Join presenter Charles
Payseur to find out if speculative fiction is right for you and
discover your own answer to the question, “Why speculate?”
Charles Payseur

speculative. His fiction and poetry have appeared
