Description & Setting Course

I’m teaching a course on description and setting at Writer’s Digest University, beginning February 23. Here’s the course description:

“In this course we’ll consider the importance of description and setting in creating a fully believable, fully realized fictional world. More importantly, we’ll consider what makes description effective—how precise language, combined with surprising ways of looking at familiar things, creates a full experience for a reader—and how you might begin employing these techniques in your own work to create characters and settings which hum with life.

“Using Ron Rozelle’s Write Great Fiction: Description & Setting as your guide, you will see how striking, yet credible, description is formed—and what such description allows you to accomplish in your own work.”
