TutorChris Wright
Creative Writing
A practical, craft-focused workshop exploring how compelling fictional characters are built on the page.
Through close reading, discussion, and guided writing exercises, participants will examine character desire, contradiction, voice, and change, and how these elements drive story forward.
The session will focus on creating characters who feel psychologically real rather than purely “likeable,” with tools writers can apply immediately to their own work.
Suitable for writers working in any genre.
