Creative Writing for Beginners: Developing Evocative Settings
Description
Settings are more than places where events occur in stories: they help define characters. This three-hour workshop with multi-award-winning author A. R. Levett examines how setting defines and builds characters and he guides you through developing five types of settings for your story.
Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone by J. K. Rowling and Cloudstreet by Tim Winton are used to provide in-class examples.
