Dates: June 5-26, 2009   "How to Write it When You Can't Be There"

Course Description:
We’ve all heard the advice: You must visit the places you write about if you’re going to create a believable setting. But most of us can’t afford to jet across the country (or the world) every time we start a book. And for those who write historicals, a trip to the place would still not be a trip to the time.
In this short course, Blythe will give some practical tips and tricks for selecting, creating, and researching believable settings, no matter what your subgenre. She’ll also discuss the thematic use of setting that can make your story richer.
