Write to Publish: Building Your Story’s Stage Through Setting

Setting is a vital part of your story. Without it, readers can’t imagine where your characters are or how they are affected by their environment. Some readers return to a book series specifically for the setting. Think of Hogwarts and Harry Potter fans.

In this workshop, we will:

• Cover the 3 main components of setting
• Discover different ways setting can become an obstacle and enhance conflict
• Discuss how setting can be a character
• Share how to weave setting into a scene
• Touch on atmosphere and mood

Come ready to write/brainstorm setting for your work-in-progress!
