Event Details

In this hands-on writing class, you'll learn how to create characters that breathe, bleed, and stay with your readers long after the story ends. We’ll explore how to craft believable motivations, flaws, fears, and contradictions—the stuff real people are made of. Whether you're writing fiction, memoir, or anything in between, this class will help you create unforgettable characters.
