Join Lake Superior Writers and the Duluth Public Library for National Novel Writing Month!
Exploring Genre: Speculative Fiction
Thursday, November 7 from 6:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Join author Carter Meland to explore the elements of world-building, character development, and plot construction that make speculative genres unique. A writer of Irish, Norwegian, and White Earth Anishinaabe heritage, Meland will examine the relationship of Indigenous- and Afro-Futurism to speculative fiction and how that can make for transformative stories.
Carter does take writing seriously, but tries to do so with good humor. His novel, Stories for a Lost Child, invokes the waters of Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, and the deep woods voice of Misaabe (Bigfoot) to help his characters make sense of the problems they face in their lives.
Research like a Librarian—For Writers!
Tuesday, November 12 from 6:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Turn local lore into a story worth sharing! No matter the genre or style of your writing, research is the first step to infusing it with believability and depth. Join our local history librarian to learn the ins and outs of the research process, tour our local history resources, and explore databases accessible here at the library.
