This virtual workshop is for writers of all children’s book categories—picture books, chapter books, MG/YA. Setting is defined as the location and time period of a story, but a character's sense of place and interactions with places can add depth and nuance to a story, elevating setting beyond simple backdrop. How do place and character create each other? How does place reveal character and provide sources of conflict? How can experience of place add resonance to stories, in particular to endings?
Join us for an interactive workshop on place in fiction. We will discuss the difference between setting and place, look at examples from middle grade, young adult, and graphic novels, and write.
