... 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.
