Our first Portland workshop was a great success!  Here’s a testimonial from a participant:

You two are a great combo. Somewhat like good cop/bad cop, but much more fun with your sense of humor showing. You both give very positive feedback and advice on how to make our writing better. The workshop was challenging, and yet relaxing. No pressure to be a literary master during each writing exercise.

FINDING YOUR PLACE:  Using Setting in Creative Writing

In this small workshop we’ll go on adventures to familiar and exotic places. Cityscape, garden, forest; office, apartment, airplane; foreign land or down the street. Find a setting for your story, or learn how to make better use of the location you’ve already chosen! We’ll explore how setting influences character and action in fiction and nonfiction. In-class writing exercises are also aimed at conveying setting both in few words and in many. Three hours, optional lunch with the group after class.

February 4, 9:30–12:30

Workshop will be held at Tabor Space, 5441 SE Belmont, Portland, OR 97215
