NaNoWrimo Prep: "Crafting Compelling Characters" with Virginia Duke

Compelling characters are essential to any story, whether you write a slow-burn character-driven novel, a cozy mystery, or Volume I of your epic fantasy series (especially if you envision a series!). Billings writer Virginia Duke (represented by Liz Parker, Verve Talent & Literary) will help you prepare for the first draft of your novel by covering the essential elements of a compelling character and what you do--and don't!--need to know about 'em to get started. Bring your writing tool(s) of choice; you'll walk away with strategies and the rough outline of one character.
