Mystery author Bill Cameron will teach a workshop titled Getting to Know You: Building Character from the Ground Up Friday, June 22, 2018, at Colonyhouse.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll work together to create characters who are messy, engaging, troubled, powerful, scary — you name it. Through a series of exercises, some individually and some in teams, we’ll explore a variety of techniques for creating characters that jump off the page and come to life in the minds of your readers.
