Writing for Character

Whether you prefer to write narrative, dialogue, script or novel, this workshop series is open to fiction writers of all kinds. The focus on the course is character-driven storytelling, looking at how building solid characters can allow you to let the characters create the plot themselves. As Stephen King says, “Put interesting characters in difficult situations, and write to find out what happens.” Though the most benefit is derived from attending all five sessions in the pack, each session is also designed to stand-alone.
