EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This course will teach you how to create memorable characters. Characters can make or break your story. Creating a memorable and intriguing character is often the difference between an agent or an editor deciding to commit several days of her life to read 450 pages, or putting your manuscript down. Attendees are encouraged to bring excerpts of their work for reading aloud, comment and critique. Questions will be welcomed.
