Character
is almost always at the heart of a novel—the driving
force behind it. Character creates the very fabric of story
and its spirit. This implies movement, but how does the writer
create an original, unforgettable character and move that
character through story, idea, and event?
In this workshop, writers will create that unforgettable character
and make the character grow throughout several chapters of
a book, to see the character develop as the actions unfold.
This is a unique opportunity to work with a professional editor
on the creation and development of the key element of story.
Additional workshop requirement:
Submit with application a writing sample, a published
article, one chapter from your book, or a promising piece
you are currently working on.
Note: Early arrivals
for all workshops are welcome to tour the Highlights for
Children and Boyds Mills Press offices.
