Virtual Sonoma County Writers Camp March 2022
March 9–13, 2022
Topic: Heroes, Villains and Ordinary People—Bringing Characters to Life
Characters are not quite the same as people. They are both more, and less. This is as true in nonfiction as in fiction, as true in realism as in fairytale. How do we navigate the dynamics of conflict and connection, of good guys and bad guys, while capturing the rich complexity of human beings that is the heart of all story? This camp session will illuminate the strategies and practices of bringing your characters to life on the page.
Tuition: $995
