CELEBRITY SATURDAY:
ERIN CELELLO
WAUKESHA – What is
the one thing that will keep readers coming back? Your characters. Crafting your
characters to be memorable, interesting and believable entities who inspire an
emotional response, positive or negative, is the heart of any good story. On
Saturday, February 7th, Erin Celello will give you the keys to
creating characters who will bring your work to life. AllWriters’ Workplace
& Workshop welcomes special guest lecturer ERIN CELELLO with her workshop,
CREATING CHARACTERS WORTH KNOWING.
You can draft a
plot that twists and turns, or conjure a truly unforgettable setting, but
without richly-drawn characters, those efforts will inevitably fall flat. In
this workshop, you’ll meet – or re-acquaint yourselves with – memorable
characters in literature and examine what makes them tick. You’ll then look at
the importance of significant details, dialogue, and research in creating the
kinds of characters who are so vivid and complex, readers are left scanning the
sidewalk or longing to share a cup of coffee with them. This workshop will
include a series of short exercises designed to help bring your characters to
life and leave an impression long after readers turn the final
page.
ERIN CELELLO is the
author of Miracle Beach
(Penguin/NAL 2011) and Learning to Stay (Penguin/NAL 2013), as well as a
PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction nominee. She has an MFA in fiction from Northern
Michigan University and is an assistant professor of writing at the University
of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, two
young sons, and two unruly Vizslas. For more about Erin, visit www.erincelello.com.
