Write Heart-Stomping, Brain-Bending Dystopian with author Laura L. Zimmerman

Using examples from Sunrise on the Reaping and other great books

Join Laura L. Zimmerman and me in this livestream as we explore the intricate world of dystopian fiction, discuss the themes and elements that define the genre, and shamelessly discuss all things Hunger Games.

We discuss what draws readers to dystopian fiction, how allegories are key to creating memorable stories, and the need for compelling secondary genres to make a story sing.

And then we also discuss our favorite Hunger Games characters and why Sunrise on the Reaping gutted us in the best way possible.
