About This Course

How can strong character arcs shape your story? In this workshop, we discuss how your characters’ transitions, setbacks, and overall growth can make your story dynamic and keep the reader engaged. An in-depth examination of your characters’ story journey helps ignite your creativity. Models from literature, film, and television are used to illustrate best practices in character development. Please bring a short description of one of your character’s arcs to the workshop in order to initiate meaningful discussion in small breakout groups.
