About the Offering

Character is the heart of a fiction writer’s work, and we will spend this month with our characters, imagining and re-imagining them and their worlds, breathing life into these unique souls whose actions and reactions drive their destiny–and story– forward.

We’ll use characters from your work and and a series of exercises and readings to help us ‘get’ them more completely, so as to represent them vividly on the page. For both fiction writers and memoirists this can open a new vision, give a new slant an old one, and make for more convincing, moving, and satisfying work.
