DreamCasters Agenda,
November 2023

11-05-2023

Opening Statement

Welcome to DreamCasters, a DreamForge discussion group devoted to helping our members improve their writing and storytelling through discussion and sharing expertise.

DreamForge News

Remaining Dates for 2023

Dec 3 (2024 dates will be announced next month)

DreamCaster Member News

Any members who have publication or personal project news, keep us up to date on your activities.

Our Program

In November, our DreamCaster guest is Sarena Ulibarri, publisher and writer of solarpunk. Sarena will put together a presentation with some of her strategies for approaching writing solarpunk, as well as some of the most common tropes she sees in slush piles, and then leave enough time for questions and discussions for our group.

Sarena Ulibarri lives, writes, and plants trees in the American Southwest. She is the author of two novellas: Another Life, available now from Stelliform Press, and Steel Tree, out in December from Android Press. Her short stories have appeared in Lightspeed, DreamForge, GigaNotoSaurus, Solarpunk Magazine, and elsewhere. She serves as a story reviewer for Grist’s Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest, and has curated several solarpunk anthologies under World Weaver Press.

Sarena won the 2023 Utopia Award for her non-fiction article “Horror And Hope In Climate Fiction” in  Strange Horizons.  The article can be found online at http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/horror-and-hope-in-climate-fiction/

You can follow Sarena on Instagram @sarenaulibarriauthor

Giveaway This Month!

One lucky attendee chosen at random will receive a copy of “Glass and Gardens, Solarpunk Summers,” an anthology edited by Sarena Ulibarri. The seventeen stories in this volume are not dull utopias—they grapple with real issues such as the future and ethics of our food sources, the connection or disconnection between technology and nature, and the interpersonal conflicts that arise no matter how peaceful the world is. In these pages you’ll find a guerilla art installation in Milan, a murder mystery set in a weather manipulation facility, a world where you are judged by the glow of your solar nanite implants, and much more.

In December

In December, our guest will be Bret Nelson.

Bret is an Emmy Award-winning creator. When he’s not writing stories, he directs TV shows and makes games. Over the years, he’s worked with Kermit the Frog, Buzz Lightyear, and Conan the Cimmerian. He worked on Farscape: The Peacekeeper wars in 2004.

Bret authored the novelization of the 2011 cult movie Manborg, where a soldier, brought back to life as a cyborg, fights alongside a band of adventurers against demon hordes in a dystopian future.

In June, Bret’s story “Thread” appeared in DreamForge Magazine. The tale can be read free online at https://bit.ly/DF12-Thread

Bret has been published in The Encyclopocalypse of Legends and Lore: Volume One, a collection of macabre myths and lurid legends featuring some of the most exciting and diverse voices in modern horror.

A work Bret wishes more readers knew about is Gabba Gabba Hey: An anthology of fiction inspired by the music of The Ramones.

Right now, he’s working on things he can’t talk about (that’s what the contracts say)

Attend the meeting for some cool Story Prompts!
