SUMMARY:CAA/SFC Webinar: Folk Narrative for Writers - An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Myths\, legends\, fairy tales\, and fables are distinct folk narrative types with specific characteristics\, but the terms are often conflated in common usage\, and the genres themselves are sometimes muddied in contemporary storytelling. Many writers and readers also believe they are inflexible categories of established tales\, when in reality they are dynamic tools we can use to weave familiar narrative patterns into new tales. With this in mind\, you are invited to join presenter Ceallaigh S. MacCath-Moran for an introduction to folk narrative and a discussion of its applicability to fiction writing. You’ll learn what folklorists mean when using the term “genre” to describe narrative types\, and you’ll learn how to understand myths\, legends\, fairy tales\, and fables. \nAt the end of the webinar\, you’ll be able to distinguish between these genres yourself\, and you’ll have a few guiding principles for utilizing them in your writing. \nPresenter: Ceallaigh S. MacCath-Moran\nLength: 90 minutes (including Q&A)\nLevel: Basic and Intermediate\nType: Informational \nCOST: This series is free due to COVID-19’s impact on the writing community; space in the live event is limited to the first 100. \n  \nRegister for Folk Narrative for Writers \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nCeallaigh S.
