Have you ever wondered ...

 ... how your favourite story so easily drew you into its world?

Setting is not just the location of the story, it is the time, place, and mood in which a story takes place. It is often the heart of the narrative. For the reader to be able to relate to the story, you must identify those details in your story that establish the time, place, and the overall mood of the story. The workshop Creating a wondrous setting on April 22nd  will show you how that is done.

When we read a novel with a graphic description of the setting, we are transported to that place. In this workshop, you will be given examples of how it is done and do exercises on bringing the world of your story to life.

The meetings will take the form of a critique group and we will have guest speakers and talks on writing. The first meeting will set out the way the critiques will be done and establish the timeline of future meetings.

We are open to suggestions as the timing and the frequency of the meetings. Those in attendance on the first night can help us decided what will happen from there.

There will be no cost for these meetings. Costs may be incurred if we have guest speakers at a future date. If you are interested in attending, please email me before the 26th.
