"What's your Wessex?": Place, setting and location in fiction

In this episode Rachel Knightley and Emily Inkpen look at the role and influence of place in creative writing.  We look at the ways in which setting can influence you as writers and affect your characters. As usual, we offer creative writing challenges to help you consider the influence of place in your own work. 

 

In this episode Rachel references “Three Wishes” by Liane Moriarty (Penguin 2003)
