Why this workshop matters

Readers may come for the plot, but they stay for the characters.

Whether it’s a courageous hero, a morally grey villain, or a side character who steals every scene, memorable characters are often what readers remember long after they’ve finished a book. This workshop is designed to help participants create characters that feel authentic, emotionally compelling, and integral to the story they’re telling.
