WRITING FOR TIME AND PLACE
A savvy writer observes constantly. Our ears are attuned to patterns of speech, our eyes capture the nuances of physical gesture. But what happens when we endeavor to craft a story set in a different time and place? How do we accurately portray realities that we ourselves have not experienced or observed. In Writing for Time and Place, Jessica Huang examines the role of research in the creative act. We will learn how to use a variety of source material--text, image, sound--to authentically evoke the worlds of the past. An experienced researcher, Huang will share elements of her own creative practice, revealing how truth can be found while bridging gaps of both time and place.
