On Place: Regional Writing & Home Narrative in Fiction
$10.00
This fiction seminar was part of Austin Bat Cave’s Spectacular Summer Seminar Festival 2020
In regional writing, setting is key. How is home constructed in place narrative? Through application of all five senses? Does it require thinking of place as character? Attendees will spend time in this session discussing the craft of place and regional writing in narrative fiction. Readings will focus on the craft of place writing. In this course, we will encounter and extract techniques used by regional writers in home and place work, in both novel and short fiction.
