Dive into Character
Ready to level up your writing?
why this workshop
Think of a book you read a while ago, one that really resonated with you. Do you remember the exact words on the page? What about all of the plot details?
Not really? That's okay. Because most of the time, what we remember above all else are the characters who stood out, the one who made us feel, who seemed real and human and whole.
That's the power of crafting fully developed characters.
And one of the best ways to expand our creative writing skills is learning to read like a writer. That's part of what this workshop involves.
We'll review snippets of writing that perfectly exemplify 4 specific aspects of character development and how they work together to build those memorable heroes, villains, and best friends.
If you're eager to experiment and have fun expanding your skills, then I invite you to join me at the Dive into Character live workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you run the workshop?
The workshop is held virtually for 2 hours (although, I recommend allotting 2.5 hrs if you want to stick around for the open Q&A at the end).
We'll go over the 4 major stages of the writing and revision process, which also corresponds with the different types of editors. After each session, you have the option to unmute, share your thoughts, and ask questions. This is a safe, judgment-free zone and a great chance to connect with other writers.
At the end, you'll get a roadmap poster complete with notes so you can apply what you learn going forward. We'll also have an open Q&A session, and I'll share other ways you can work with me.
What if I can't attend this time?
No problem. Each time I offer the workshop, I change the day of the week and time, so we can work this out. Just let me know you want to join the workshop and when you’re usually available, and I’ll make a note to notify you about the next date.
You can also sign up for my newsletter so you'll know ahead of time what I'm planning.
Is there a replay?
Yes. If your plans change and you can't attend live, you will have 30 days to access the recording.
What if I don't have any writing skills?
What? Of course you do. Really!
This workshop will help you overcome those thought monsters because we all start off at the beginning. The key is to take that first step and keep going.
Also, you can (and should) use what you learn here for all different types of writing, including personal, creative, and professional writing. You 100% have something to offer because your voice and your stories are important.
What if I'm not sure I want to write a book?
That's okay! What you learn here applies to all different types of writing, including personal, creative, and professional writing.
And you might be surprised. Once we break down the process into manageable chunks, you might see how it's possible and feel more confident exploring that big-scale idea.
