VIRTUAL EVENT
When we think about books, movies, or plays that stick with us long after the story has finished, it's often the characters who come to mind. In fact, memorable characters can truly feel as though they leap from the page. Every writer strives to create meaningful, fully fleshed personalities, but doing so can be challenging. In this workshop, we'll discuss what characterization means, what characteristics writers can focus on in crafting their characters, and how fiction and non-fiction writers can craft those characters that resonate with readers. Please have something available to write with as we'll take time for some writing exercises that will help your characters come to life. All genres welcome!
