FedCon 27 | Workshop | Für Star Trek schreiben

How do you write a Star Trek novel? Which rules (stylistically, legally, technically) are to be observed, which traps to avoid? On the occasion of the 50th series anniversary, Christian Humberg and his co-author Bernd Perplies wrote the novel trilogy Star Trek Prometheus, which is now also published in America. In their nerdy crash course for budding writers, he and Prometheus editor Anika Klüver now pass on their expertise to you. Together with them, the audience develops a brand-new, fictional adventure in the literary Star Trek universe. Just for fun. You don’t need any previous knowledge, just you should bring along some fun with you.

The Prometheus trilogy takes place in the autumn of 2385, directly following the novel series The Fall. The authors have gone to great lengths to avoid contradicting the books of their American colleagues and to create their own adventure, skillfully complementing the works of the Americans and adding another colour to the literary Trek universe.
