Creating Full, Flawed Characters Led By Bix Gabriel

Saturdays, April 30th - May 21st, 2022 | 11 AM ET - 2 PM ET

Tuition | $200.00

Capacity: 20 Storytellers

In this 4-week fiction series on "Creating Full, Flawed Characters", Storytellers will learn to craft characters that are complex and not completely defined by their pasts - whether traumas, or victories. This workshop will build week to week, so that by the end of our time together, all storytellers will have a central character (or more than one) around whom the story (or possibly a longer piece) has been developed or is in-progress.

About the Faculty: Bix Gabriel (she/her) is a writer, teacher of creative writing at Bucknell University, editor at The Offing magazine, debut Periplus Fellow, co-founder of TakeTwo Services, occasional Tweeter, and seeker of the perfect jalebi.
