All the Elves are Gay: An Exploration into Inclusive Worldbuilding
Queer was always here, and that's just as true for imagined worlds. In this 2-hour workshop, we'll study, discuss and practice the art of fantasy worldbuilding and how to keep queerness alive in a setting.
Workshop Lead: Corrina Dorn is a trans-femme bard with a passion for the fantastic. Having earned her BA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University, she is now studying for her Masters degree and filling notebooks with imagined worlds.
This session is suitable for writers aged 16+, of all experience levels and abilities. We will have a 20-minute comfort break in the middle.
Bring: a pen, a notepad and your lovely self!
This workshop is funded by Portsmouth Creates as part of their In Our Words Festival 2025
