Characters We Care About

This course is designed for writers of all genres seeking to create characters whom readers feel they know and care about. By doing close readings from various works, we'll identify elements of compelling characters, discuss characterization methods, and practice incorporating these into our writing. The coursework will be relevant to writers at any stage, though students are encouraged to bring their own characters to class.
