4-Week: Your Protagonist is Lying to You—Unlocking Character Depth

Every character keeps secrets. It's your job as a writer to uncover them. In this four-week workshop, we'll use interview tactics to get at what your characters might be hiding. We'll put them in the hot seat and ask the tough questions that reveal who they really are, what they actually want, what they're keeping to themselves, and why. Through guided exercises and group discussion, you'll learn how to interrogate your characters to uncover hidden motivations, fears, contradictions, and desires that can crack open your writing. Expect in-class writing, optional sharing, and group discussion during our weekly two-hour sessions.
