A professional writing career requires solid adaptability and an awareness of what can be done. In order to push writers into areas they may have previously avoided, the genre study will present two very distinct but very different genres; Speculative fiction (Sci-Fi and fantasy etc) and traditional romance. Students will study the expectations and possibilities of both genres, the differences and the similarities, and create works that will fit within both genres. They will discuss works within the genres and explore industry and academic perspectives on the genres, their effectiveness and their popularity.
