Writescape Workshop with Ruth E. Walker

Sunday, August 28, 2011 - 10:00am

The Heathers. Cedar Valley, York Region

Ruth E. Walker will be instructing you on "Character Development: Putting Flesh on the Bones".

Is it the book you remember or the characters? A good storyteller fills the pages with people who linger long after you close the book.

This one-day workshop focuses on ways to develop your characters into memorable people. Innovative exercises and intriguing examples help you create believable dialogue and fascinating fictional folks. Expand your writer’s toolkit with techniques that reveal your characters’ deepest, darkest secrets.

By the end of the day, you’ll know your characters so well, that you will stay up nights watching them, listening to them and writing about them.

Workshops run 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Each workshop: $90; $80 for WCDR/PWAC/CAA, etc. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, go to www.writescape.ca, email info@writescape.ca or phone 905-728-7823. (Before August 9, call Heather O’Connor at 905-430-0466.)
