Writers will work with a variety of prompts and in-class exercises to amplify the character development of their fictional characters. Class will review stylistic features of timeless characters and observe how character development shapes plot and narrative drive. Ideal for writers working on a short story or novel or just exploring the contours of a narrative. Participants can hope to take away 10-15 pages of refined prose and a dossier of take-home prompts. New students and students who have taken the course previously are welcome.
