About this event
Everyone loves masterfully crafted book characters, but what does it take to bring one to life?
Wrestling with fictional characters is a familiar pastime for experienced as well as new writers. Yet, every reader who cracks open a book expects to be fascinated by the people they meet there. It’s an ongoing struggle to create realistic characters who fulfill all the functions of story and resonate with the reader as real, engaging people.
In this webinar, author and editor Oksana Marafioti will teach you:
- The basics of writing characters;
- Techniques for making them believable and entertaining; and
- How to make sure they fit into your story.
