Some characters follow the rules—yours won’t. This class is a high-energy, hands-on workshop designed to help you create bold, flawed, and irresistibly compelling characters. Through interactive exercises and expert techniques, you’ll craft characters who scheme, charm, deceive, and take risks—characters readers can’t help but root for (or obsess over). Whether they’re stealing a kiss or a kingdom, your characters will leap off the page, leaving a trail of intrigue in their wake. If you want to write fiction that crackles with life and keeps readers hooked, this is the workshop for you. By the end of this workshop, participants will: - Craft characters who break rules, steal hearts, and captivate readers. - Write dialogue that reveals subtext, manipulation, and motivation. - Push characters into bold, defining moments. - Leave with concrete scenes and a clear sense of their character’s depth.
