Ever picked up a fantasy novel or work of magic realism and found yourself lost in another world? Wished you could go visit? From Narnia to Game of Thrones’ Westeros, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ Macondo to Tolkien’s iconic Middle Earth, worlds with magic can inspire connection, satirise reality and offer important ideas about humanity. So how do we make magic in stories feel like it could actually happen? How do we suspend readers’ disbelief and help them roll with the weird?
Leone Ross created a magical land called Popisho (This One Sky Day) that makes people want to live there and you can, too.

The widget that lets you sign into the forum with your WHQ login has given up.
We are trying to coax it back into existence. So far neither bribery, begging or crying has worked. We are currently trying shaking our fists at the sky and going ‘grrrr’.
You can still get to the forum though! Do this:
IMPORTANT: This means you will have TWO (2) passwords/logins. One for the WHQ main site and one for the forum. It’s a pain in the arse. We’re sorry. It is temporary, but at least you can dick about on the forum again. OKAY BYE.
Once you hit the button, you’ll get a confirmation email, and we’ll send you the Zoom link an hour before the event.
Check your inbox for details.
If you don’t get an email, check your spam fist and then wang us a line on he**@**********co.uk and we’ll leap into action with keenness and speed.
