[LEWISBURG, W.Va.] Create worlds and change timelines in a new writing workshop with author Belinda Anderson on May 3 from 10 a.m. to noon at New River Community and Technical College’s Greenbrier Valley Campus in Lewisburg.
The class is titled, “World Building with Words: Writing Speculative Fiction.” The two-hour workshop is an introduction to speculative fiction, which includes science fiction and fantasy and such genres as alternate history.

Anderson, the author of four books, has been recognized for mentoring other writers. She has been named a Master Artist by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History to work with emerging writers through a grant program. She is a past recipient of the West Virginia Writers’ Just Uncommonly Good award, for mentoring and promoting the written word in West Virginia.
