The cities and fields and oceans of our writing can be antagonists, love interests, murder weapons, scorekeepers and heroes. In this generative 4-week course we’ll talk about the seven deadly sins of settings, shortcuts to spare background painting, how places are always *doing* and *becoming*, and how not to test your reader’s patience. We’ll learn how to activate place in our writing through a series of in-class prompts and critiques, and leave with a better sense of where we are now.
Open to writers of all levels and genres. This is a 4-week workshop, with a 1.5-hour session each week. Please prepare for approximately 1 hour of work between sessions.
