I've Got the Power: How to Use Character Agency to Make Your Story Satisfying
Aug 21, 2024
Online event
Rachael Stein will present a riveting webinar on character agency.
Conflict is a vital component of any good children’s book, from picture books to young adult novels. But which characters actually make the decisions and take action to resolve that conflict? In this workshop, we’ll discuss character agency, why it’s important for your main character to have control over their story, and how a character’s actions and decisions make the story especially satisfying for readers. This event will be recorded, and a replay will be available for 30 days after the live event.
