SUMMARY:Canadian Authors Association and SF Canada Webinar: Integrating Place in Fiction to Deepen Meaning
DESCRIPTION: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. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will have learned aspects of the following key tools: \n\nRecognize the role of place in a story’s meaning (theme) and character journey\nApproach setting and place as an integral part to storytelling to increase depth and impact\nRecognize and use metaphor to link place and character on a journey\nApply psychology of place to their own writing\n\nPresenter: Nina Munteanu\, UofT Writing Instructor/author of A Diary in the Age of Water\nLength: 90 minutes (including Q&A)\nLevel: Basic and Intermediate\nType: Informational \nNina Munteanu is a Canadian limnologist / ecologist\, novelist and award-winning short story author of eco-fiction\, science fiction and fantasy.
