Arvon Masterclass with Helen Oyeyemi

How do you write characters who feel authentic, original and intriguing? How do you fill your fiction with people your readers feel compelled to spend time with? Award-winning writer Helen Oyeyemi (A New New Me) will help you develop or create fresh aspects of your characters’ relationships to each other, as well as your characters’ perceptions of their own stories. Through short writing exercises and discussion you’ll refresh your approaches to the people you’re imagining.
