Some of the greatest writers have certainly gotten “place” right. And some, not so much.

In this 6-week class, we will take a deep dive into the writing style of several well-known writers. One in particular, a Pulitzer Prize winner who says “place always comes first” and see if what she tells the world is actually what she does.

We will also explore other writers such as John Steinbeck and Barry Lopez. Both of these writers are excellent. They bring “place” so alive it becomes a character.

After exploring these writers and their styles, we will then explore how we “see” and “create” place in our work. How does it differ from these writers? Our characters should rise from the fabric of the earth. Many writers just ignore place, but is that the best idea? Place comes first, then the characters.
