Complex and interesting characters are essential to any story, but how do you reach their true depths? In this fun, exploratory writing class, you’ll step into the role of therapist while your character becomes the patient.

It’s character therapy without the copay! This class is perfect for writers who want their characters to stop behaving like cardboard cutouts and start acting like the complicated bundles of contradictions we all are.
