About the Course
Most authors will tell you they first found their hero. And you'll start by finding with your Harry, your Katniss, your Percy, or your Coraline.
Join me (and Quinn) for 45 minutes for an interactive workshop on creating a character. It's aimed at kids 6-14, BUT even adults can participate (and learn something). This is based on my teaching that has helped more than 30 of my students become national book award winners or finalists... and it's different than most people imagine.
Trust me, this is the perfect workshop if you've ever wanted to do more creative writing, develop a movie screenplay, or write a novel. You'll come away from this session with a foundation of your first character. These techniques work... and they are fun too!
