Character Intensive

Everyone talks about the importance of character driven plot, but what if you're just stuck when it comes to writing your characters? In this 3-hour seminar, we'll focus on bringing your characters to life. We'll do a series of brainstorming exercises to help you understand and picture your characters so they become clearer. This class is geared towards fiction writers of all levels: beginners laying out the groundwork for their writing or more advanced writers who are polishing their drafts and want to add more depth to their characters.

Class Format

This class will take place using Zoom videoconferencing. About 15 minutes before your class is scheduled to begin, you'll receive an email from your instructor with a link to join the class meeting!
