Revealing Characters The Hollywood Way

Revealing Characters The Hollywood Way

We've just finished a virtual online writing retreat, teaching writers how to reveal their characters the way Hollywood screenwriters and producers do it.

We've been learning from our Hollywood judges and from our literary agent and publisher judges for a few years and we decided to give this writing retreat a test. It went down a storm!

So, we'll be repeating it again soon.

Who Should Attend?

  • Writers just starting out in their writing journey who want to develop their characters
  • Writers targeting literary agents to possibly represent their novels
  • Writing contest entrants who are working on their manuscript and want to impress a publisher who is judging a writing contest
  • Established writers and authors who want to ensure their novels hit the ground running with compelling characters in the opening pages
  • Authors and writers who need to ensure that their characters jump out of the page

What You Will Learn

Ten Page-Turning Techniques For Your First Ten Pages Boot Camp will show you:

  • Key questions readers want to know about your characters
  • How to craft a compelling character from your first sentence
  • How to have readers connect with your characters
  • How to reveal your character on the page
  • Techniques for instantly creating character appeal and empathy
