Announcing our upcoming

NOVEMBER 2026 Writers Panel


In-person monthly gathering. Come experience our new panel discussions and member-to-member knowledge sharing! 

EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPING: How to Enrich Your Setting With Emotion.


Description:

Every writer has heard the advice to treat "setting as a character," but how do you actually make a physical landscape carry the heavy emotional lifting of a story? In this craft-focused panel, authors of fiction and memoir dismantle the static backdrops of traditional scene-building to explore how geography, sensory details, and physical constraints can mirror a protagonist’s internal chaos.

Panelists: Tanyo Ravicz, Victoria Vanransom. Moderator: Eduardo Santiago.

The meeting begins at 11:00 a.m. and ends at noon. 

This event is free for all members. Registration not necessary.

We may take photos and/or videos at any of our events for promotional purposes. Ready to become a member of the Palm Springs Writers Guild? Please click here.
