Justice for My Sister is offering a virtual workshop series for individuals who are Black, Indigenous, and/or POC and interested in telling stories that center our community members as leaders, so that we can imagine ourselves into the future in powerful ways.

The BIPOC Sci-Fi and Speculative Fiction Screenwriting Lab welcomes writers who are interested in developing their first TV pilot. If you are interested in themes such as: Afrofuturism, Indigenous-futurism, recovering ancestral ways, intersectional and interdimensional feminism/womxnism, life beyond gender, land stewardship, people of color saving our planet, and non-dystopian narratives about the next 7 generations, we need your voice and vision. Join our BIPOC Sci-Fi and Speculative Fiction Lab and get the tools you need to craft your TV pilot.

Get training in character development, story structure, writing a pilot, media literacy, world building and writing to expose and diminish the white supremacist, capitalist, heteronormative-patriarchy.

Use the application essays to tell us why YOU are the person to tell the story you’re proposing!

Tuition for this 10-week lecture series is $555. We have a limited amount of partial scholarships available. 

Those who complete this portion of the fellowship are eligible for continued one-on-one mentorship to polish your script, at no additional cost. Completion of your script will grant you a free two-month listing of your script on The Blklst.
