Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers
of Hampton Roads

Fantastical Worlds: A Writing Group for Speculative Fiction
In-Person Only
This is a chance to get together with not just other writers but with fantasy writers –those of us who revel in wardrobe doors and rabbit holes, who would rather work on inventing a language than learning French, who long for something this world doesn’t offer. Come on in, the water’s warm and the fairies are friendly!

Projects, Passions, and Possibilities
