Writing Fantasy

Vanessa C. Hawkins is here to help YOU transform from a mere mortal into a mighty mythmaker!

Come join us in epic quests like: the Hunt for the Elusive Plot Hole, where you'll wield your mighty pen to vanquish inconsistencies and continuity errors. We will help you master the art of fantasy world-building, forge alliances with compelling characters and dastardly villains, and wield magical spells so intricate, they’ll turn your first drafts into polished manuscripts with a flick of your enchanted quill.

Come and join us for a whirlwind hour of Dungeons & Direction, and make your pen mightier than the sword! 


Vanessa Hawkins

A life-long lover of horror, Vanessa wrote her first story when she was in grade five. It was entitled Mutilated and warranted a trip to the school guidance counselor. Since then, she has gone on to write over a dozen publications in the fantasy, horror, steampunk and romance genres. Vanessa garnered the best selling title with her novel The Curious Case of Simon Todd last year, and has won second place in the David Adams Richards Prize for fiction, and honorable mentions in the WFNB writing competition for her novel A Child to Cry Over.
