Setting as Character


by

Cara Black

SETTING AS CHARACER

Whether your setting is the middle of Highway 5 or a Left Bank bistro, it must be real. The setting you choose as a writer must come alive to your readers. It must grab their attention and hold it.

Equally important: what does your scene say about the characters you've chosen to inhabit it? What is the message going out to your readers? How will your setting engage them? Best selling mystery author Cara Black promises to share her research secrets and descriptive techniques.
