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 action unfolds.

This is a unique opportunity to work with a professional editor on the creation and development of the key element of story.

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.
