Alien Worlds (and how to visit them)

SF novelist and comic writer Dan Abnett talks about techniques for creating fantastic alien worlds, locations and characters, drawing on his experience writing for famous fictional universes like those of Marvel Comics, Warhammer and Doctor Who, and from inventing whole universes of his own.

The informal talk will be followed by a Q&A and a signing.
