Latrobe Literary Festival: Creative Writing Workshop

Every story, long or short, requires characters that catch a reader’s attention, propelling the plot through the choices that they make. It’s necessary to consider backstory, tics and habits, psychological layers and communication styles to build a strong character with a rich internal landscape and a nuanced relationship to the world through which they move. In this workshop, learn how to develop complex and believable figures who’ll linger in the mind.
