Setting for Character & Idea Generation – Summer 2023

Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, setting is vital to story. Rather than a static playing board on which your characters act, how your characters interact with the world they’re in brings stories to life. Using creative methods, we’ll explore the world of your story, and find its voice.  All stories start somewhere. Using creative and unconventional methods we’ll generate new ideas for writing projects, tackling the blank page with confidence, and finding the spark of inspiration you need to write your next great work.

Elizabeth Kilcoyne is a YA Horror author from Lexington. Her novel, Wake the Bones, was a finalist for the William C. Morris Award.

This class is suitable for all levels.
