Inspiring Workshops for Writers
Setting the Scene
Every person has a character and so does every place — pick up a few tips on making the background your fictional characters move through as vivid as the narratives they inhabit with novelist and former director of The Humber School for Writers, Antanas Sileika.
Writing Dialogue
In this workshop, participants will look at techniques used to craft dialogue that is motivated by character agenda with award-winning author David James Brock. By focusing on rhythm, conflict, tactics, and subtext, we will look at how to reveal your characters by the things they say — and the way they say things.
Join us as we gather to honour the stories and the voices of Etobicoke.
Presented by the Ontario Book Publishers Organization and Arts Etobicoke, thanks to the support of the Toronto Arts Council.
