Finding Gold in your Story Setting with Rosanne Parry

Developing the setting of your story can make the character voices sharper, the action more vivid, and the plot complications more realistic. But how do you create a deeper and more vibrant world Join us on May 7th at First Congregational Church in downtown Portland at 7PM (doors open at 6:30PM) for a workshop with author Rosanne Parry. This workshop will cover ten techniques for researching and writing a compelling setting for your story.
