Introduction
This free course looks at
how characters might be drawn and how setting is established. It works on the
different levels of characterization, from flat to round, and how character and
place interact. It also works on the effect of genre and how genre can be used.
The main teaching material
in this course is taken from an existing publication, The Fiction Writer's
Workshop by Josip Novakovich (1995).
Novakovich is an
award-winning writer (of short stories mainly), who teaches fiction writing at
the University of Cincinnati. His chapters on ‘Character’ and ‘Setting’ are
included within this course. I'll indicate when you should read these extracts
and I'll also outline the listening and writing activities that accompany them.
This course is split into
the following sections:
•
Character
•
Setting
·
Genre
