Ironwood Classroom

Craft your settings with attributes of character development.

The most memorable novels often include an evocative setting that exudes its own subtle or not-so-subtle personality. Consider Where the Crawdads Sing, Wuthering Heights, and Huckleberry Finn. In this workshop we’ll look at crafting your settings with the attributes of character development to create richer, more cohesive stories.
