Workshop Outline
Setting is so much more than the background to a narrative. Imaginatively used, it brings atmosphere and colour. It can also add a layer of metaphor which will enhance the meaning of your story. You will learn how it can involve the wider social and political environment. Not least, we will explore how a dynamic use of setting can move your story forward as much as your characters do.
TOPICS COVERED
- Optimising the feel of your story with the right choice of setting.
- Using setting to add metaphorical meaning.
- Setting as an enhancer and mover of plot.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
