Mastering Characterization

Characterization is an essential literary tool of writing a novel or short story and is the foundation of all great literature. Mastering characterization can help you drive the plot forward and develop a world that engrosses the reader. In this 6-Week Zoom Workshop we’ll examine the literary devices used to develop characters--such as narration, dialogue, interaction, and interiority--and also study how to combine indirect and direct characterization to create characters that are interesting and realistic (and not necessarily likeable).

This is a six-week course. Seats are limited, so sign up early.
