Character with Emma Darwin
£40.00
How do you develop convincing, lifelike characters while still using them to power your plot? And what if your story-idea hasn’t arrived with characters at all? In this practical workshop we’ll think about what makes characters convincing and keeps the reader caring about them. We’ll explore how to find and develop your characters, how characterisation and theme interact, and what to do when your characters won’t do what they’re told – or don’t feel like they have any life at all. A handout will be sent after the event so you don’t need to make extensive notes. If you can’t attend in person you can purchase the recording and handout.
