Workshop: Getting to Know Your Characters

Even the greatest plot falls flat on the page if your characters can't pull it off. In fiction and creative nonfiction, characters drive a story forward and provide readers access to its meaning and import. Knowing your characters' back stories, fears, goals, and motivations is vital. Come learn techniques to dig into their fictional psyches. You may be surprised by what you find.
