Bringing Your Characters to Life with Deonie Fiford
Every writer wants their characters to be as realistic as possible, but how can you make readers believe in them? How can you bring them to life? Experienced editor Deonie Fiford will help you discover how to show your characters to the reader and strengthen your writing skills.
This masterclass will focus on the importance of ‘show, don’t tell’ and how this can enhance characterisation, as well as exploring voice, dialogue and other techniques. Participants will complete a number of writing exercises that will give them the skills and confidence to create vivid, memorable characters.
N.B. Writers who have or are currently working on a manuscript are invited to apply for this masterclass. Please submit 10-15 pages and a one page synopsis to Deonie through the Bundaberg Writers Club Inc via email to novels@sandycurtis.com or hard copy to PO Box 1486, Bundaberg Qld 4670 by 9 April. Participants will be selected by Deonie based on this submission. The masterclass is limited to 10 participants. Writers will be advised of the outcome of their application by 30 April.
