What do Sherlock Holmes, Elizabeth Bennet, and Jamie Fraser have in common? They leap off the page (or screen) with their richness. After this lively, interactive masterclass, your characters will, too.
Great fiction starts with great characters. Setting, plot, point of view, conflict—every element of story is fueled by the characters who drive it. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use creative role-play techniques (yes, acting is encouraged but optional!), verbal storytelling, and deep-dive character investigations to develop characters that feel real, vivid, and unforgettable.
I’ll provided guided character worksheets and questions to aid in storytelling. Whether you’re building brand-new characters or refining characters already in progress, you’ll walk away with concrete tools to create living, breathing people on the page.
Warning: You may leave this class with characters so genuine, they’ll hijack your next novel.
