Every story has a landscape- and every writer has a place that lingers in memory. In this writer's workshop, debut author Jacqueline Renee invites participants to explore how memory, setting, and place shape storytelling. Through guided prompts, close readings of evocative passages, and discussion, participants will learn techniques for weaving setting and emotion into their fiction or memoir. Writers will leave with new pages drafted on site, tools for strengthening their writing practice, and a deeper awareness of how setting functions not only as backdrop but as an active character in story. Whether you are just beginning your writing journey or are a seasoned storyteller, this workshop provides a welcoming space for exploration and growth. Bring your pencils, pens and a notebook, all other materials provided by Instructor. 

Jacqueline Renée holds an MFA from Hollins University. She is a two-time recipient of the Shirley Henn Award for Excellence in Creative Writing, a recipient of a Highlights Foundation Writers Workshop Scholarship at Chautauqua, and a finalist for the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Award. Her work has appeared in Beginnings Literary Journal and The Dead Mule School of Southern Fiction. She is a member of the Charleston Library Society and the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, and she is at work on her next novel. Renée divides her time between Blacksburg, Virginia, and Charleston, South Carolina.
