Course Description

Writers create worlds and bring characters to life in the hearts and imaginations of readers. When we read a story, the characters draw us into their world, giving it consequence. We discover who they are by how they are described, what they do and say, and by how other characters respond to them. This course offers space to explore character creation in a weekly workshop format through writing exercises, reading, listening and responding to each other’s experiments during class and in our online discussion pages.  

Note: This course has required in-class writing exercises, homework and the expectation to read and respond to peers in small break-out groups online and in the Canvas discussion board.  

This course is offered online.

A $50 discount is available during check-out for adults 55+.
