An In-Depth Writing Course on H G Wells – And Why He Still Matters H G Wells is often labelled “the father of science fiction”. That’s true – but it’s also wildly incomplete. Because Wells didn’t just invent stories about time travel, alien invasion, or invisibility. He invented a way of using story to think. He turned fiction into a laboratory for ideas. A place where social systems could be tested, broken, and examined honestly. And that is exactly why writers still need him. This course is not about memorizing titles or admiring period detail. It’s about understanding how Wells built stories that argue, stories that warn, and stories that still feel uncomfortably relevant more than a century later. If you want your writing to carry weight – intellectual, emotional, and moral – this course will sharpen your instincts immediately. This Is Not a History Lesson - It’s a Practical Course for Thinking Writers This course explores: * How Wells used speculative ideas as tools for social critique * Why his stories feel urgent rather than decorative * How he balanced clarity with complexity * Why his endings refuse comfort * And how you can apply his techniques to your own writing today Wells didn’t write escapist fiction. He wrote responsible fiction. And that’s what you’ll learn to do here. This course takes you step by step through Wells’ life, work, and lasting influence – always with an eye on what it teaches you as a writer.

The Major Novels, Properly Understood * From The Time Machine to The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and Doctor Moreau, we examine Wells’ most important books with a focus on: * Theme * Structure * Moral argument * Cultural impact You’ll see why these stories are not about gadgets or monsters – but about power, inequality, and human responsibility. Wells’ Narrative Style and Technique, we break down: * His clear, purposeful prose * His use of ordinary narrators * His controlled pacing and compression * His refusal to over-explain or sentimentalize Social Commentary and Humanism * Wells believed civilization was fragile, progress was not guaranteed, and education mattered more than anything else.
