Adult Writing Workshop: Creating Characters Your Readers Will Love (Or Hate)
Adult Writing Workshop: Creating Characters Your Readers Will Love (Or Hate)
Readers love complex, flawed characters. We may not always admire them, but we’re drawn to them. We remember them. Think Macbeth’s vaulting ambition or Gatsby’s tragic illusions. Think Miss Havisham or Sherlock Holmes or Lisbeth Salander. In this workshop, you will learn how to add depth, complexity, and memorability to your fictional characters by mining their human imperfections. We’ll explore descriptive, dialogue, and psychological techniques to help keep your characters captivating—and authentically complicated.
