The range of narrative voice in most manuscripts is sadly limited. Commanding narrative voices, however, seize readers’ attention and carry readers beyond plot to deeper levels of engagement—and challenge. In this hands-on workshop, learn to use the advanced dimensions of voice that master novelists use to make their novels sing, surprise, and sweep us away.
Characters don’t spring into your story from a vacuum; ideally, they feel as fully developed and faceted as anyone your readers might know in real life. Who they are, what they want, and why they do what they do is rooted in who they have been and what they have done—in other words, backstory. But backstory is not the story, and not everything that makes up a character’s past and current life outside the story is relevant to it. This session will explore how determine which threads in the fabric of your characters’ lives are essential to this story and which aren’t, and how to mine those areas to create rich, believable, fully fleshed, cohesive characters.
