Setting is often an overlooked tool for writers, but it can be so much more than just an interesting backdrop. This workshop will show how setting can be used to increase conflict, show tone/theme, and clarify characters. Practical examples and prompts will be provided.

Key Takeaways

  • Setting beyond the backdrop
  • Setting as a reflection of character and belonging (or lack thereof)
  • Using setting to increase conflict
  • Using setting to show a character's development

Intended Audience:

Writers of any skill level
