Writing Workshop with Gillian Poucher - How to Create Compelling Characters

Unforgettable characters strengthen stories. In this workshop we’ll brainstorm how to create memorable characters. We’ll think about the role of support acts and flat characters before imagining new characters or strengthening our existing characters.

The programme is designed for beginners and more advanced writers, for those who enjoy writing as a hobby and those who hope to be published. All workshops are standalone so that you can attend as many as you like.

Reading the novels for the ‘Reading as a Writer’ sessions is recommended. The focus here is on what we can learn from these novels as writers.

All other workshops include time for writing with the option of constructive peer feedback. If purchasing books, please support indie bookshops such as Little Owls

Bookshop in Caistor.

Gillian Poucher is the author of three novels ‘After The Funeral’, ‘A Question of Loyalty’ and ‘Vision of Light.’ Her writing is partly inspired by Lincolnshire and its history.
