Webinar
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this webinar, you will learn the crucial element for creating socially layered, culturally nuanced, and ultimately compelling stories: context. Through lecture, discussion, and examples, you will explore how to successfully provide socio-cultural background and maximize your setting in ways that benefit the narrative. As a class, we will discuss concrete approaches to ensure any contextual elements fit smoothly into the story, heighten tension, enrich plot, and deepen characters. You will leave with a set of practical tools to better layer your fiction and always have context be an ally.<\/p>\n
