Session 2 at the next Writing the Occult has the Queen of Polar Horror look at how we can connect to lands that might be less than friendly - what if we're writing about land that is not verdant, blooming? What can a hostile landscape bring to our works & creative spark? 🧵⬇️

It's time to meet the speakers for the next Writing the Occult and I'm starting with the Queen of Polar Horror themselves. Land isn't just all golden fields and green trees, y'know, and Ally Wilkes is here to show us how to connect when the land is not exactly on your side.
