SETTING AS CHARACTER November 2025 (In Person) Writing Show

Setting is more than a backdrop–it can shape your characters’ experiences, reveal hidden tensions and cultural nuances, and influence your narrative trajectory. Hear from three authors who know how to create rich, multilayered locations that impact a story well beyond physical description.
The Writing Show includes a social time from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm. This portion of the evening is optional. If you choose to only attend the panel discussion, please arrive in time to find parking and be seated before the panel discussion begins at 6:30 pm.
