Writopia Lab Welcomes Award-Winning Author and Teacher Sheree Renée Thomas!

Sheree will be teaching Five-Day Science Fiction/Fantasy/Magical Realism Workshops at Writopia Lab in August. She was awarded the 2003 Ledig House/LEF Foundation Prize for Fiction for her novel, Bonecarver.

Her anthology, Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction, from the African Diaspora won the 2001 World Fantasy Award for Year's Best Anthology and the Gold Pen Award. The volume was also honored as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, received a Washington Post Editor's "Rave," and was named an Amazon.com "Essential Book." The list of her accomplishments and awards go on and on.

Sheree has also taught creative writing classes at universities and at High Schools and youth programs throughout New York City. We are so excited to have her on board for two weeks in August! See the schedule for more information!
