Mara Purl
Everyone talks about characters — the ones they love; the ones they hate; the ones they love to hate . . .But how does an author go about actually creating characters that are both realistic and memorable? Author Mara Purl does this for a living. Many of her readers say her characters become friends they like to keep up with.
She will share with us two specific tools that help with creating great characters. Join Mara as she dives deep into creating characters that have both adhesion within themselves, and distinction from one another. One of her tools is about the head; one is about the heart. One is about color; one is about personality types.
Join us for a fun and practical session.
