Developing Unforgettable Characters

Whether you are writing short fiction, a novel, or memoir, characters are what draw your reader in and make them care enough to read on.

This course offers methods for creating three-dimensional characters that your readers will react to, relate to and remember.

You will acquire a toolkit of exercises to help you develop or more clearly define both primary and secondary characters.

Exercises and assignments will help you fill a notebook with character sketches and scenes, and help you start a chapter or short story featuring your most unforgettable character.
