THE ROUGH NOTES CRAFT TALKS
with
Laura van den Berg
March 29 + April 5
1 p.m.- 3 p.m.
via Zoom

We immediately recognize a memorable character when we encounter one, but how do writers get their characters to sing? This class will focus on the art of discovering the animating details that bring our characters to life, and the process of understanding what needs to be on the page and what can be left out. The two sessions will include the study of short stories; craft discussion; generative writing exercises; and Q & A.
  
Here’s what you can expect to take away from this online craft talk:

* Specific strategies for discovering character | * Techniques for bringing characters to life on the page | * A better understanding of how to write character | * Character-specific exercises, craft readings, and revision strategies

This online class will meet via Zoom, so you can join from anywhere!
