Join speculative fiction author (and occasional fanfiction writer) Cassandra Rose Clarke for a discussion of how fan fiction can help you develop your skills as a writer—not just craft skills, but also publication-specific skills, such as engaging with an audience and dealing with rejection and bad reviews. We’ll talk about how to make the leap from writing fanfic to writing original fic, and look at some of the differences between the two forms.
