Build Better Settings: How to use setting to show character arc in your fiction (Creative Academy Guides for Writers) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Our mission with this book is to accomplish just one thing: to change the way you view (and use) setting as a tool in your storytelling.

Many authors create flat, one-dimensional settings that fail to engage readers, or else they bury the reader under details that don’t add depth and meaning to the story they’re trying to tell. Some create worlds that are beautifully fleshed out but aren’t anchored to the characters or aren’t an integral part of the plot.

You’re not going to be one of those authors.

Build Better Settings will take you on a journey that will:

• Clear out old attitudes, expand your idea of what setting can do, and ensure that you understand what we mean by character arc.
• Introduce you to the tools we see as the fundamentals of building a meaningful setting including: different levels of setting, your character’s backstory, objects and symbols, and secondary characters.
• Show you how to build your setting to challenge your character, boost conflict and build story tension.
• Reflect the changes occurring within your character’s world so that every detail of your setting adds layers of meaning to your story in a way that readers can see and feel.

Why we’re the authors ready to help you level up your writing
With dozens of published books between us, we’ve sat right where you’re sitting now with your rear end firmly planted in your writing chair, and a desire to level up your storytelling. We’ve sweated over how to make our characters come to life and how to weave stories that keep readers turning pages. In addition to our own experience as authors, we’re co-founders and mentors in the Creative Academy for Writers, an online community with members writing and publishing worldwide. As an added bonus (we like to think), both Crystal and Eileen have backgrounds in counselling and psychology.
This is the seventh Creative Academy Guide for Writers. Be sure to check out the rest of the titles in this series.
