Workshop

Tim Wynne-Jones

November 25, 12 PM
A Man Walks into a Predicament

Characters are primarily revealed to us by what they say and do. No amount of description will bring them to life as vividly as a scene in which they have to respond in some telling way. In this half-day workshop, award-winning novelist and receipient of the Governor-General award for literature, Tim Wynne-Jones will look at ways that writers can put characters in revealing situations, before unleashing them on to the reading public. Tim's workshops always sell out fast to stay-tuned for the ticket release date!
