This webinar will show you how to use place and setting to increase the richness and meaning of story. Place is best described as a character, defining, and interacting with all other characters related to the theme. Learning to integrate setting and place with plot, theme, and character will provide story depth. It will also ground the reader in context and meaning. All too often settings are either too vague or not enmeshed in story. This webinar uses examples from great literature to demonstrate how place is used to draw readers into story through metaphor, sensual description, integration and interaction with character and plot.

By the end of the session, participants will have learned aspects of the following key tools:

  1. Recognize the role of place in a story’s meaning (theme) and character journey
  2. Approach setting and place as an integral part to storytelling to increase depth and impact
  3. Recognize and use metaphor to link place and character on a journey
  4. Apply psychology of place to their own writing

Presenter: Nina Munteanu, UofT Writing Instructor/author of A Diary in the Age of Water
Length: 90 minutes (including Q&A)
Level: Basic and Intermediate
Type: Informational

Nina Munteanu is a Canadian limnologist / ecologist, novelist and award-winning short story author of eco-fiction, science fiction and fantasy. Nina also writes articles on science and writing. She has authored nine novels, four non-fiction books and a collection of short stories. Her book Water Is… (Pixl Press, 2016)—a scientific study and personal journey as limnologist, mother, and teacher—was Margaret Atwood’s pick in 2016 in the New York Times ‘The Year in Reading.’ Her latest eco-novel A Diary in the Age of Water (Inanna Publications, 2020) explores four generations of women and their relationship with water during catastrophic environmental change. Nina teaches writing at The University of Toronto and George Brown College and coaches writers to publication.
