About our Fiction Masterclass: “Your Character’s Character”

If you’re working on a story and it’s going nowhere, the problem may lie with your protagonist, and not with your plot. In this generative session, join author, editor, and The Writer columnist Yi Shun Lai for a deep dive into your characters’ personalities, their motives, and their backstories – and learn how those can drive your plot in true page-turning fashion.
