HYBRID GENRE WORKSHOP

WHAT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL HOUSE: CRAFTING ENGAGING SETTINGS AND PLAYFUL PROSE

Tomas Moniz

In this workshop, we will focus on two often overlooked elements of our writing process: setting development and revising the sentence. Setting can play a crucial role in situating your reader as well as invigorating and enriching your prose. Then, we will actually experiment with revising cliches and other sentence level practices. Besides examining and workshopping each other’s writing, participants will leave with a better understanding of the setting's impact on their writing and a few practical approaches to sentence revision.
