Character and plot are forces that interweave, strand over strand, where a character’s actions drive the plot and the events of the plot change the character. Together they create a braid which is the story. In this class, we will explore the relationship between plot and character and tactics that you can use to craft a story that impacts the reader.

This class is suitable for all levels.

Brook West is an author, screenwriter, and training developer whose passion is helping creatives tell stories that stick to your bones.
