September 15, 2018 | Realistic Character Design Workshop

August 20, 2018 By Guest

Workshop: How to Create Realistic Characters for Your FictionJoan Raymond, Character Development Workshop Presenter

Great storytelling relies on great characters. And now there’s a fun system to help you develop yours.

Join Writers of Kern and creative writing instructor, Joan Raymond, for our September meeting and workshop.
