Good news, writers of the Latinoid continuum, Somos en escrito and MeXicanos 2070 are presenting the Palabras del Pueblo Writing Workshop 2030, and this time, I’ll be teaching one of the classes. It’ll be called Papí Sci-Fi’s Ancient Chicano Sci-Fi Wisdom. Here’s the official description:
Ernest Hogan was born in East L.A. during the Atomic Age and his mother’s maiden name is Garcia. His 40 years of writing and publishing science fiction and other strange things have caused some call him the Father of Chicano Science Fiction, though there has not yet been a DNA test.
He is now willing to share his vast Ancient Chicano Sci-Fi Wisdom. Come, learn about how to use the weirdness of the Latinoid Continuum in your writing, and how to market yourself to the Anglo-centric publishing industry, use the social media for self-promotion, as well as hear outrageous—sometimes hair-raising—firsthand anecdotes of living a professional writer’s life.
Ernest will also answer your questions, wants this to be an interactive experience, hopes to learn a few things himself, and maybe even get his mind blown.
Goal for the workshop: During the course of the workshop, he will start and write a story, sharing how he does it, and help the students do the same.
Then we will all set our creations loose on an unsuspecting world . . .
It’ll take place over two weekends: May 20-23 and May 27-28, 9am to 1pm Pacific Standard Time, and will be online.
The deadline to apply is May 1st. The workshop is free to apply. The minimum cost is $100, payable after acceptance before the class begins. If you can't afford $100, please write for options at somosenescrito@gmail.com.
Apply now! Space is limited! Don’t miss out!
Let’s rattle the planet!
Ernest Hogan is known as the Father of Chicano Science Fiction, but Papí Sci-Fi is shorter, and screams the freewheeling, rasquache approach he has to everything.

I'll await results from the DNA test. I'm most interested in What species?
