Let’s Do This: Intros

  1. What project of fiction are you working on or want to start? How is it a fiction (and not)? Sometimes articles, paintings, songs, and documentaries, for example, can contain fictional elements. Consider what makes yours a work of fiction.

  2. In what ways do you already layer your art? Which elements are conscious choices and which simply emerge in the creative process, unbidden?

  3. To what extent are places and spaces features in your work? How might considering these elements in different ways enhance fiction?

Please feel free to share links to your own work (including other forms of fiction - songs, visual art, film…) or copy and paste short sections to share with our readers!

The Matterhorn: truth in fiction
The Matterhorn with Dr. Kathleen Waller
The Matterhorn is for writers and curious minds from author and academic Dr. Kathleen Waller.
Each week in this new season, Kathleen shares a chapter of her serialized novels - A Hong Kong Story & An Interpreter in Vienna - and uses it as a catalyst to discuss the layers of literature and how you can use these in your own writing.
The Matterhorn mission is to bring books and texts to life through an interdisciplinary and international approach as well as help writers take risks and create from knowledge.
