Join us for a writing workshop with local author, Mickey Flagg.

Building Your World with Words - Worldbuilding Isn't Just For Fantasy Writers

Purpose: To clarify the importance of world-building.

Objectives: 

To focus world building skills in any writing genre

To differentiate between micro and macro world building

To identify the importance of consistency in the world a writer creates

To clarify the what, when, why, and how the writer’s world works

To encourage deeper thinking about the aspects of his/her/their world

Program description:

This presentation includes a power point to highlight the objectives listed above and answers the question: Why is world-building important? It will allow authors, whether novice or published in any genre, to reflect on how that world vision transfers into the written word. Aspects of world-building as well as the importance of dialogue to reveal the writer’s world are described. Discussion and Q & A is encouraged. A world building handout is available to participants.
