No matter what you write, fiction or nonfiction, it happens somewhere. Your readers need to know about that “somewhere” in an interesting way as it’s needed—not too much, which ends up in boring description, and not so little that readers don’t know where they are or when in history you’ve put them. Award-winning author, Deborah K. Frontiera, has published works in many times, places and genres. Her experiences may help you with your own settings. Topics include
- Inventing entire fantasy worlds
- Research issues for historical pieces
- Points to ponder for contemporary settings
- How much and how little to include
- Some of the more interesting experiences she’s had with her settings
