Online Workshop: Compelling Characters in Short Fiction

Join Shookoofeh Azar in this online writing workshop about compelling characters in short fiction.

Failures, sorrows, regrets, stupidities, wasted dreams, personality weaknesses and the dark sides of our being, which we always hide under beautiful and acceptable masks, are the raw materials of our fictional characters. In this short course, Shokoofeh Azar will show you how to pull your fictional characters out of the dark half of your being and let them breathe.
