After the success of The Hunger Games, publishers and moviemakers were eager to recreate the success with other YA dystopias. However, none had the same kind of cultural impact. This workshop will tackle the issue of writing in dystopian fiction while trying to make your take stand out.
In this workshop, we will discuss some of the history of utopia and dystopia, dissect the most critical components of writing a dystopia, and rigorously evaluate how the elements of your dystopia are working towards the important social or political critique that you’ve intended to come out of the story alongside your characters’ individual arcs.
