Other news and upcoming classes on offer include a repeat of the Writing Unconventional Characters workshop with Writers.com. The world needs more characters in fiction who are vibrant, authentic, and willing to challenge the status quo. Too often, characters on the page are reduced to tropes—flat and predictable, or written only in relation to others. This course is about changing that. Together, we’ll craft fully realized characters who are completely true to their own voices and stories—even when that upends cultural and societal expectations.

This workshop is for fiction writers—whether you’re working on a short story, a novel-in-progress, or simply want to develop stronger characters. You’ll generate new material through short assignments that push you to experiment with different approaches to characterization, while paying attention to the craft choices that make unconventional narrators unforgettable. We’ll look at how the finer details, such as skills, interests, and relationships, can make characters stand taller, speak louder, and live more vividly on the page. Our discussions will help you refine your instincts for when to push against stereotypes and how to create characters who feel original and layered.

You’ll generate and submit 1–2,000 new words, and we’ll workshop your writing with a three-point focus: what we loved, where we got a tad lost, and what we want to hear more about. You’ll leave the course with a set of new character-driven pieces, as well as the tools and confidence to continue developing complex, unconventional characters in your fiction.
