Eight Strategies For Writing Innovative Settings Marcy Weydemuller

In Eight Strategies for Writing Innovative Settings, we'll examine key strategies to create impact for the settings of our novels regardless of genre. Each section focuses on one strategy with three or four applications and creative writing prompts to customize to your work. Whether you are just beginning a project or ready to revise, these suggestions will give you critical perspective.

In addition, we will look at novel excerpts from a variety of genres to see how authors have built unique settings -- and how we can apply these techniques to our own work.
