Course overview
Course description
This course briefly introduces you to some ways to make your characters more layered and complex. We鈥檒l take inspiration from characters from published stories including fiction and memoir and apply some of the techniques studied with a range of writing exercises.
We鈥檒l look at what details are included to help draw a well-rounded character beyond the description of appearance to character traits, quirks, secrets, bad habits and flaws. We鈥檒l work on putting our character into a variety of situations to bring out a range of responses.
You鈥檒l be invited to share some of your writing and/or reflections with other students in small break out rooms.
During the four-week course you鈥檒l be invited to submit a piece of writing which will be workshopped in the session and you鈥檒l be given written feedback from the tutor.
The four-week course starts Feb 5th to continue and deepen the learning
