Create strong, believable characters.
The cleverest plot in the world won’t hold a reader’s attention if your characters are flat, unrealistic, and behave like stick figures on the page. Learn how to choose, develop, and employ interesting characters that readers will want to follow through your stories. Participants will discover how to create a strong character-reader bond and focus their stories through the vivid, emotional experiences of their central character(s).
