CHARACTER TREATMENT
Instructor: Katrina Kittle
Of all the elements of fiction, character is the most important. From the very opening pages of your story, your main character is responsible for giving the reader some reason to care and keep reading. But how do you evoke that kind of identification with the reader? This 5 week class will provide several exercises to strengthen your characters, develop their backstory, handle their physical description, and create their voice. We’ll examine how motivation effects character, and all the techniques available in a writers’ toolbox to develop a protagonist (and antagonist) a reader can’t forget. This class will help you create a character, or give more depth to a character you’re already working with in a work-in-progress.
THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. YOU CAN ADD YOUR NAME TO THE WAITING LIST ON THE REGISTRATION PAGE.

If you're interested in fiction, this intensive will challenge you through exercises that both inspire story material AND strengthen your craft. We'll examine such aspects as dialogue, description, character development, voice, point of view, and plot. You'll share work, gain feedback and publish a short piece in a group anthology. It's like a boot camp for the characters in your head.
