Grand Rapids Region Writers Group

Brenda Sparks Prescott will help both fiction and non-fiction authors

develop skills around creating and writing authentic characters with

telling detail, while avoiding use of cliché and conventional language.

The workshop will address drawing inspiration for character creation

both from lived experiences and from outside of personal experience,

as well as utilization of and differences between archetypes and

stereotypes. There will be hands-on aspects, too, so you will want to

bring your laptops or internet-connectable writing devices along!
Online registration to develop compelling characters is now open; click

the link below soon to take advantage of Early Bird Pricing!
