Are you writing character driven fiction? Are you crafting unexpected friendships and relationships between the people in your story?
In this summer masterclass, critically acclaimed author Sara Nisha Adams will be sharing insight into creating characters on the page, and building unexpected friendships between your cast. She will discuss getting to know your characters and touching on emotional topics through them, as well as what makes the kind of character that a reader wants to spend time with.
Sara will delve into crafting relationships between your characters, helping you understand what characters will work well together, especially if they are very different people. Her own book 'The Reading List' is all about an unexpected friendship, so she will share her learnings and top tips, as well as how to use place and setting to take relationships between characters in unexpected directions.
Plus she'll talk about her editing process, and her route to publication.
This masterclass will be online via Teams. It will also be recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you'll be able to catch-up and access the recording for up to two weeks after the event has taken place.
Please note, this event was postponed from 3rd July to 13th September due to speaker illness.
