Creating Setting
Presented by bestselling author Megan Chance
Setting is about more than window-dressing in a novel. At its best, it is a kind of world-building that becomes a compelling character in its own right. Learn how to make your setting count. Megan Chance talks about how to utilize description, the senses, point-of-view, and research to create a setting so real it plunges a reader inescapably into another world.
