In numerous novels Robert Corvus has created fascinating worlds before the eyes of his readers. Magnificent cities, disreputable dungeons, rugged mountains, mighty streams, amphibious races, robots, expertocracies, virtual realities and overexposure engines – how can you give it all shape and add it to a whole that carries an exciting story? Planetography, names, cultures, history, space travel, technology and artificial intelligence… all these can be stumbling blocks or the chance to make the imagined world truly their own.

In the FedCon workshop Create SF story settings he presents his way of working and explore variants and new ways of world creation together with the participants. They work in small groups, while the author gives suggestions and help.

Anyone who brings writing materials and a good mood can join in. The participation fee is included in the entrance fee to FedCon.
