Series Details

About

Have you ever wanted to write a novel or movie script but weren’t sure where to start? Characters are a great place, since they drive the story forward and make the reader care. This series will cover how to create protagonists and antagonists, set up character arcs, and center your characters around the core theme of the story (and how to find the theme). We’ll also touch on story structure to give you the context in which your characters will exist in the story, and I’ll give you some tips for how to actually finish your first draft. If you have attended my series on short story writing, that’s awesome! However, no prior experience in writing is necessary to join! I’ll do my best to make the series as beginner-friendly as possible. :)

Tutor Qualifications

I’ve been writing stories (mostly working on novels) for the past 5 years, and I’ve participated in multiple creative writing workshops.
