When it comes to fiction, the stories we often find memorable are the ones driven by compelling characters. Over the course of six sessions, Heroes & Villains will explore the ways in which we writers can round out our protagonists and antagonists for the benefit of our stories. Whether you鈥檝e worked with your characters before and are hoping to better understand their motives, or you鈥檙e looking to dive into a new work with fresh characters, each session will incorporate exercises, prompts, and generative discussions on creating believable characters with hopes, fears, goals, and depth. With an emphasis on both protagonists and antagonists, these workshops are meant to move our characters beyond archetypes. We鈥檒l bring out the worst in our heroes, and give complexities to our villains. We鈥檒l craft backstories for our characters that dictate the ways in which they navigate the plot at large. And by the end of this series, you will walk away with more tools in your toolbox for the sake of impactful, character-driven storytelling.

For our third session on Oct. 30, in celebration of Halloween, costumes and/or spooky attire is encouraged!
