Who are your characters? How do readers get to know them? Create distinct character voices by expressing who your characters are using what makes them unique—their experiences, their motivations, their influences. Our characters, whether fictional or non-fictional, have history, goals, and secrets that determine who they are and how they express themselves in their daily behaviors and interactions with others. This prompt-driven workshop will assist you in fleshing out your voices for new characters or existing WIP. For more information visit: writeyourstorynow.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
