Compelling characters are the backbone of unforgettable fiction.

We will look at how internal and external conflicts shape a character’s transformation, create case studies of some of fiction’s most dynamic characters, and explore various techniques for crafting complex protagonists, layered antagonists, and dynamic supporting characters.
