What makes a story character-driven? How can you get your characters to jump off the page? What elements create a successful character with a distinct voice? Utilizing techniques and examples from both theatre acting and children’s literature, this interactive workshop with agent Charlotte Wenger explores these questions and unpack tools to build rich characters with standout voices and unique personalities.
This workshop is perfect for all picture book writers and illustrators.
The workshop will be recorded, with the recording provided to registered attendees only for one month post event. Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit to Charlotte for a limited time following the event.
