This workshop will guide you through creating a compelling protagonist and antagonist for a horror novel or short story. Questions we’ll consider: What scares your protagonist and why? What does the antagonist reflect about your protagonist’s fears? Why is your protagonist the right main character for this story? Generative writing prompts will help us figure out these elements of our stories and more. Using sensory details, we’ll place our protagonists in scenes where they must face their greatest fears–it’s good for them!
Pre-orders for the THE BODY OPEN SOURCE: AN ANTHOLOGY ON BEING HUMAN IN THE AGE OF AI are available now!
Contributors to THE BODY OPEN SOURCE: AN ANTHOLOGY ON BEING HUMAN IN THE AGE OF AI will read their work at this book release event at St. Ambrose University’s Galvin Fine Arts Center on 4/16.
