This incredible once-in-a-lifetime Masterclass provides an opportunity for ten outstanding young speculative fiction or fantasy writers to spend a week being inspired, challenged and guided by best-selling authors Sean Williams and A. J. Mackinnon.

#1 New York Times-bestselling speculative fiction author Sean Williams is the author of over 70 published short stories and 30 novels, including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and multiple award-winning The Crooked Letter. He has several novels being published in 2011 including Curse of the Vampire.

A.J. (Sandy) Mackinnon spent his childhood between England and Australia. Currently a teacher at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar, he is the author of The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow and The Well at the World’s End, two accounts of his real-life adventures that inevitably got out of hand.

Please note, a week-long committment is required by each student. The cost of the Masterclass is $250pp for the week duration.
