Get Real! Writing Realistic Fiction That Resonates with Adam Blackman
Sep 28, 2026
Online event
Unlimited seats
In surreal times, realistic fiction can ground us in the complexity, beauty, tragedy, and even absurdity of our world. While the rules of the form restrict us to characters, settings, and natural laws of the known universe, creative opportunities abound. In this presentation, we will look at examples of different types of realistic fiction, with a focus on picture books and an eye to what we can bring into our own work.
