SUMMARY:2024 NOVEMBER ONLINE WRITING SHOW | Writing Unlikeable Characters
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes main characters who make questionable decisions\, stand up for themselves in unpopular ways\, or break with traditional molds are labeled “unlikeable.” Is that always a bad thing? How unlikeable can a character be before readers give up? How do you layer a character so that they’re well-rounded and believably flawed but not too flawed? Our trio of experts will talk about anti-heroes\, unpleasant character traits\, and pushing the envelope. \nSpeakers: John Copenhaver\, Alma Katsu\, Harry Szabo \nModerator: Karen A.
