Setting is the most consistently underused tool in a developing manuscript, and yet a setting well-described and thoroughly inhabited by its characters can make a story powerful and memorable. Rosanne Parry’s workshop Finding the Gold in Your Story Setting will help you hone the rising action of your plot, sharpen the journey of your characters, and deepen your story’s voice. You’ll come away with practical ideas and exercises to make your manuscript more distinctive—a truer version of itself.

Rosanne Parry is the author of seven middle grade novels, including the newly released A Whale of the Wild and the NY Times bestseller A Wolf Called Wander which is published in 11 languages. Rosanne is a part-time bookseller at legendary Portland independent bookstore, Annie Blooms, and is the captain of the League of Exceptional Writers, a free mentoring workshop for young avid readers and writers. She lives with her family in an historic farmhouse and writes in a treehouse in her backyard. You can find Rosanne at www.rosanneparry.com
