In this fiction seminar, we’ll examine and analyze techniques for writing compelling scenes and creating strong characters. We’ll look at scene openings and endings, tension and suspense, and using interiority. We’ll also discuss creating compelling protagonists and antagonists, and ways to bring your characters to life. We’ll consider examples from various writers, and, time permitting, conclude with a writing exercise, followed by a dialogue and discussion.
This course is a part of Thrills and Chills Fest, a weekend celebration of thriller, mystery, crime, and suspense taking place on March 15 and 16, with the opportunity to engage in craft seminars, panels, happy hours, and fun evening events. Learn more here.
