Paul Kane/Marie O’Regan – Setting and Location in Genre Fiction
My workshop’s topic slightly overlaps with Paul and Marie, except they’re taking a broader approach, since setting a location in SF can differ slightly from other genres; nonetheless, it’s good to know that if people miss one workshop, there will be others covering similar themes; in fact, there are five different panels covering the start of a novel from different angles.
Perhaps I should have picked closing a story as my topic?
