In this three-hour workshop, we will consider the role of setting in works of fiction and narrative non-fiction.
- How does the book’s setting create mood and atmosphere?
- What does the character’s response to place reveal about them?
- How does the book’s setting indicate its themes and central concerns?
As well as drawing on examples, participants will be invited to consider the relationship between person and place through their own writing.
Date: Saturday 21 Feb
Time: 1pm-4pm (ACST)
