STORY STARTER
Write a descriptive narrative about the world your novel is set in.
Step away from your main plot and consider how the world shapes your story. If your story takes place somewhere familiar (like the world today), focus on which elements of it will play into your story.
Upon The Shelves
Set in a small town in outback Australia, where everyone knows and every body and where gossip spreads like wildfire. The town consists of a grocer/post office, a small coffee shop, bookshop, police station and a barely standing community hall. The only reason the town is known to outsiders is the stunning and extensive botanical garden that brings tourists in every spring.
