Realistic, three-dimensional characters are the core of any great story, and that's still true when the character is an alien, animal, monster, or other non-human.

This workshop will explore strategies to create unique characters that feel authentically non-human but are still accessible and relatable to readers.

To accomplish this, we'll study examples of non-human characters portrayed well in published fiction, as well as doing generative prompts and exercises to practice creating compelling non-humans of their own.

To join us, all you have to do is join #substack and register at the link in the b!0.

See you there! White and green poster that reads Authentically alien, free, November 14th 12pm to 2pm Live on Substack! Bringing Non-Human POVS to Life on the Page, www.writepittsburgh.com/events taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by @writepittsburgh
