Character is where the story begins, but where do characters come from? What makes a compelling protagonist? How do you develop your characters, bring them to life on the page, and understand what their stories are? Kathy Page, author of Dear Evelyn and Alphabet, and known for compelling and convincing characterization, will share some of her approach to character development and take participants through an in-class exercise. Please bring pen and paper. Introduced by Pamela Mulloy.
