“I just didn’t connect with the character.” “The character didn’t resonate with me.”

How many times do writers hear these phrases when submitting to editors and agents? These dreaded, vague responses can often leave writers scratching their heads. Was it the writing? The plotting? How can they write stories that readers can’t resist?

Emotionally deep stories grab readers’ attention and encourage them to care about the characters and their world. It’s one way to improve your writing and craft stories that readers (and agents and editors) connect to. Join award-winning, MFA-level instructors Karen and Laura for a deep-dive into getting your characters’ emotions on the page.

Workshop will be recorded. There will be homework between classes.

Participants will submit ten, double-spaced pages and receive feedback from one of the instructors.
