Crafting Compelling Characters
Make your characters leap off the page and resonate with readers. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or complete beginner, this fun, productive workshop for adults will help you create believable protagonists, antagonists and all other characters that make up your stories.
This workshop will be held at the Morrab Library, Penzance, TR18 4DA
Saturday 31st May 10am-12:15pm
We will explore how to:
-
Know what characters you need in your story
-
Create 3D characters
-
Draw readers deeper into your protagonist’s psyche
-
Make readers relate to and care about your characters
-
Strengthen reader interest in your story.
You’ll write lots on this workshop and read anything aloud that you’d like to (no pressure if you’d rather not). Should you wish, you’ll receive positive, constructive feedback on your writing and will leave with either a number of new characters in development or a clearer understanding of characters you have already been working on.
