Undergraduate students are invited to join UCSB Library and UCSB Reads 2022 for a three-part Sci-Fi creative writing workshop. The goal of the workshop is to spark the imagination of both novice and experienced writers, and to guide them toward the creation of their own original science fiction short story.

Led by graduate students Kaaronica Evans-Ware and Margaret Fisher, workshop participants will use the UCSB Reads 2022 book Exhalation: Stories by Ted Chiang as inspiration. 

Attendance at all three sessions is preferred but not required. Reading Exhalation is the only prerequisite to the workshop.  

A free copy of the book is available to participants.  To get a copy or for more information, please email UCSBReads@library.ucsb.edu
