Creating Memorable Characters
December 19, 2020, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
What are characters, really? Mysterious beings, figments of our imagination.
How do writers create characters? Why are some characters so memorable? What makes them unique?
Sophie will also be dealing with representation, addressing the need to be more inclusive in our stories. We’ll discuss ideas and explore techniques and activities that will help us imagine and create characters that stay with us long after we close the book.

She is now based in London, writing poetry, translating, and teaching English at a secondary school. She is also a poetry translator at the Atelier do Centro in Sao Paulo.
