Captivating Characters

Tickets

Event Details

A compelling protagonist is the beating heart of a good story. Creating a character that will make your readers feel and care means they will want to follow them to the very last page.

In this workshop we will explore unforgettable characters in literature and consider what makes them memorable. Author Elizabeth Delo will guide you through a series of exercises to create convincing, three-dimensional characters and begin to identify their desires, flaws, fears and motivations. You will learn the essential elements of traditional narrative arcs, giving you the tools to develop your character and build their story.

Everyone welcome – no previous writing experience necessary.
