DESCRIPTION
Whether in fiction or in journalism, no writer who has traveled with their eyes and hearts open can ignore the power of place. Even ordinary places, when skillfully captured or created in prose and reporting, can become compelling characters in their own right. Through studying the treatment of place by both journalists and authors and developing our own work through group and individual exercises, this workshop is designed to explore the pleasure and power of crafting place whether in fiction, memoir, articles or essays. Typically includes visits in the immediate area and a day-trip workshop in the region.
