Lock in your lowest price— register by August 1! For more than 90 years, Writer’s Digest has been helping novelists populate their stories with the kinds of characters readers will care about. Over the years, Alice Walker, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Anne Tyler, and Jack Kerouac (to name just a few) have all weighed in on the challenges and rewards of creating compelling characters that make for a richer, more realized work. “We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.” —Ernest Hemingway And now you can join that legacy. The Character track at the Writer’s Digest Novel Writing Conference is your opportunity to strengthen your characters—and your novel—in sessions like these:   Bringing Characters to Life Through Dialogue, with Catherine McKenzie and Jon Harrison Strong dialogue imbues fiction with authenticity and energy, but how do you craft it artfully? How can you write passages of dialogue that feel realistic without being dull? How do you convey action without seeming forced? Join authors Jon Harrison and Catherine McKenzie for a workshop on crafting tight, narrative-propelling dialogue.     The Topography of Character, with Therese Walsh To develop memorable, leap-off-the-page characters, throw out the questionnaires and think instead about personality maps. What is your character’s terrain? How does he or she respond to that terrain? With insights into human nature and psychology, this session gives you a fresh perspective on character creation and evolution.   Attending a Writer’s Digest event is like stepping into the pages of the magazine, and this fall offers you the rare chance to join us on the West Coast—at one of the only novel-focused events available. Explore the whole program and stellar speaker lineup, but make sure to register soon— August 1 is your last chance to get the best price. GET TALKING: #WDNWC16
