Saving the World One Word at a Time, Ellen Szabo

Mary Woodbury

September 8, 2015

Discover how writing fiction can make the world a better place. This book offers instruction, inspiration and prompts for writing climate fiction, which is speculative fiction that focuses primarily on the ways that climate change is transforming our world. Explore how plot, place, and character development can make climate change personal. By anticipating and elaborating on the future implications of climate change, writers of cli-fi use knowledge of science and climate to imagine and create apocalyptic or dystopian worlds with the goal of changing how humans think about, inhabit and interact with our planet. Place your writing at the forefront of efforts to reimagine the message and the messengers of climate change, taking the issue out of politics and into the realm of the personal.
