COURSE DETAILS:

Every good story runs on the hidden assumptions, conceptions and misconceptions of at least one culture.

You are (frequently without realizing it) a partipant in dozens of cultures.

You are an observer of thousands more.

Churches and synagogues, schools, workplaces, clubs, groups of friends, teammates… Every single one of these groups has different cultural expectations that shape your behavior, your speech, what you wear, and more.

You navigate more or less successfully through MOST of these cultures by a combination of luck, good guessing, and learned understanding of body language, tone of voice, and other cues you usually don't realize you're using.

But to write fiction, you need to understand the tricks and strategies your brain manages more-or-less automatically, because what you're not aware of doing, you cannot successfully add into your fiction.

ALL fiction (not just science fiction and fantasy) requires in-depth knowledge of how cultures work.
