"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)    Join the Writers’ Gym and book your next writing workout at https://www.rachelknightley.com/the-writers-gym/   Book onto the Alternative Stories “Writing for Radio and Podcasts” online workshop on 21st March with Chris and Emily https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-for-radio-and-podcasts-tickets-832128888907   The Writers Gym Podcast is an Alternative Stories production for The Writers' Gym.     Find out more about The Writers' Gym and Rachel Knightley by going to https://www.rachelknightley.com/   Find out more about Emily Inkpen and her work by going to https://www.emilyinkpen.com/   Learn more about Chris Gregory and Alternative Stories here https://alternativestories.com/   Subscribe to The Writers’ Gym in your favourite podcast app to be notified of all new episodes as they are released.  Join us next week for a discussion about world building   New episodes of The Writers’ Gym will appear every Wednesday
