Map the World, Map the Scene with Amanda Zimmerman

This workshop will cover three scenarios for maps – basic cartography of your fiction's world, city roadmaps and building plans, and lastly mapping out a complicated action sequence. Come prepared with place markers (buttons, lego pieces, seeds, coins, etc), a list of locations both natural and manmade (towns, farms, roads woods, mountains, streams, oceans) in your story, markers or crayons, tracing paper and pencils!
