Course Catalog
Outside In: Two Ways of Thinking about Character
We’ll look at how character and point of view work together to shape conflict and emotional tension within works of fiction. After reviewing examples from literature, we’ll generate new writing in third- and first-person, and discuss how each technique shapes how we know our characters.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
