This writer's craft essay originated from Heather Sanderson's master level thesis at Harvard University's Extension School. In it, she examines three different kinds of portals in three works: \u003cem\u003eThe Neverending Story\u003c\/em\u003e by Michael Ende, \u003cem\u003eShe Never Told Me About the Ocean\u003c\/em\u003e by Elisabeth Sharp McKetta, and \"Bluebeard's Egg\" by Margaret Atwood. From looking closely at these two novels and short story, Sanderson offers specific examples of what is needed to fully incorporate a portal into your writing and discusses why you might want to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52696950604083,"sku":"9781997539193","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/4h-BXdeqRk9781997539193.webp?v=1763124861","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/more-than-a-threshold-portals-as-a-function-of-character-transformation-in-fiction-a-writers-craft-essay-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
