Learn Character, Learn Voice
Voice is the soul of story. The element that almost magically pulls us in, often with only a few lines. As writers, we want nothing more than to execute it. But what comes first, creating an unforgettable character? Or crafting an unforgettable voice? Or both? By looking at the delicate dance between the relationship of character and voice, we will explore how elements like rhythm, life experience, and word choice play into creating a distinct character voice that becomes the undeniable, unputdownable and unforgettable soul of story.
Fees are non-refundable.
SCBWI members: $10
Nonmembers: $15
