Description
One of the great strengths of Harry Potter is its strong characters. Not just a collection of stats about the characters, Rowling breathes life into her characters so that they leap off the page and into the hearts of readers. Characterization, the little details that make a character more than words, is a struggle for many authors. Numerous books address the subject, and the Internet is filled with exercises to help budding authors create memorable characters. Which techniques really work? How much do you really need to know about your characters before you put pen to paper? Through the use of real-world examples, we'll explore the tips and techniques that work best and dispel a few myths about characterization along the way. From character triage to finding each character's unique voice, this workshop will help fanfic and original fiction authors spin a little magic of their own.
