Details

In the best novels there are no minor characters. Even the bit players leap into being before our eyes. Join Steven Heighton for a class on “flash characterization”: techniques for introducing major or minor characters and bringing them instantly and vividly to life. This involves not only external description and hearing characters’ voices in dialogue, but above all, creating a snapshot of characters’ desires and contradictions. Come prepared to do a little writing and to talk about it.

General Admission: $25.00/$30.00 onsite
Limited enrollment.
