I&#x27;m  Peppur Chambers , a published author, a director and trained actor with over twenty years experience in theater and film. I&#x27;ve learned about character from the inside out. This means I have learned what makes a character a walking, talking, interesting living being. As a writer, I&#x27;ve applied these skills to my own work, whether I&#x27;m writing a novel, a short story or a new play. I&#x27;m now sharing this knowledge with you. </em></p><p><em>As an educator, I&#x27;ve taught ESL (English as a Second Language) and journalism; I love teaching, especially in intimate settings where there is hands-on interaction and the exchange of knowledge, ideas and creativity.  This is why I&#x27;ve created a course that helps writers create better characters in their writing! </em></p><h1>WRITER WORKSHOP - CREATING CHARACTER</h1><p>By taking an approach that comes from my acting training, we will work to create fabulous, three-dimensional, interesting characters.</p><h2>Who is this workshop for?</h2><p>New and mid-level writers who feel stuck when it comes to writing interesting characters.
