Cargando... Setting (1994)por Jack M. Bickham
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. I have both this version and also the newer Elements of Fiction Writing book on setting (Description and Setting by Rozelle being the other version). Of the two, I found this one to be slightly more helpful in fleshing out the setting-as-a-character in my epic fantasy work. This is the older of the two, so it refers to other ways of absorbing-and-disseminating setting than the internet-research heavy newer version by Rozelle. When it comes to setting, there is nothing like being there and speaking to people who have been there to get a 'feel' for a place, I have discovered, and this book bears that bias (though once again both are useful). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I'd recommend this book for a general overview of setting and how it relates to your writing, but for the research side, go with updated methods, they are faster and a lot cheaper than travelling to a town to see how it smells or to check out what colour the roof of the town hall is. (
