About the event
Bring Characters to Life
Creating believable three-dimensional characters is essential for successful creative writing. This workshop will help you bring your story’s personalities alive in ways that will capture readers’ imaginations. Your fans will feel like they know and love (or hate) your fictional beings so much that they become fully invested in their dramas, traumas, and joys.
In this workshop, we will:
Discuss how and why to avoid the pitfalls of stereotypes and tropes.
Learn the importance of details, idiosyncrasies, and consistency.
Explore how to use dialogue for character development.
Acquire and utilize tools that help you get to know your characters at their core.
Discuss and employ a variety of skills and techniques that allow your characters to bloom and
soar.
