Favorite book characters: What makes you adore them? This camp will first scout out the traits and elements that shape irresistible characters. Then it will explore the ways that character creates story and interacts with plot. It will journey along the threads of setting, point of view, voice/tone, symbolism and theme. Each day, participants will experiment with this evolving map of craft, using it to write their own new characters or to enhance established ones.
