What makes characters compelling? Is it relatability? Mystery? Complexity? Incongruity? All of the above? Conversely, what makes a character forgettable? In this masterclass, we will consider some forgettable and unforgettable characters and what combination of factors made them so.

Each 90-minute class will be presented virtually and will focus on a specific aspect of writing craft. Sign up for one or attend them all! All writing levels are welcome.
