This interactive craft workshop will explore effective charactersation in prose fiction. We'll look at point of view, dialogue, and character description, with a series of guided exercises (sharing optional). Learn about conversational rhythms and speech patterns, tips and tricks for crafting back-and-forths that are both naturalistic and propulsive, character building through dialogue and description, and how to write thumbnail character sketches that punch above their weight.
