Backstory can be a key element in a narrative as it’s a set of events that have happened before your main story. It’s an important device to show some aspects of your characters, or to make your reader understand key elements in the plot.
Writing backstory can be tricky because it must be smoothly incorporated in the narrative, without breaking the flow or creating a timeline confusion.
In this class, we'll study passages from great writers who use smart techniques when writing backstory. We'll apply these techniques individually through exercises and prompts, followed by discussions.
