You’ve likely heard the term used by agents, editors, or critique group members, but what—exactly—is character agency? Why is it critical, and how do you make sure your protagonist and other characters demonstrate it? If your character starts out as a reluctant figure, one to whom events are happening, how can you find ways to signal that character’s strength and motivation to the reader? As always, come prepared to work and make important discoveries along the way.
Children tend to be neither seen nor heard in most adult fiction, but the child's perspective is often wise, funny, unexpected, and charming. Because every reader is or was a child, the youngest characters also provide a direct emotional connection for every person who picks up your book. Grace will offer discussion, writing exercises, and examples to help you craft juvenile characters who add depth, humor, and warmth to any genre of fiction.
