Character-driven—it’s one way to ensure that your writing is compelling. But how do you create the kind of characters that captivate a reader? Digging up all you’ll need to create characters that jump from the page can be as complicated as a covert operation. This workshop includes plenty of in-class exercises and amusing tips on craft.
