Post Road Library

Post Road Meeting Room

Editors are looking for character-driven picture books, but how do we create characters that are strong enough to drive a story? In this workshop, we’ll study different character types, explore how to make them relatable to our readers, and how to give them distinctive qualities that drive both the emotional and the action arcs of our stories.

About Kristy Dempsey

Kristy Dempsey is the author of numerous picture books. She is a speaker and teacher at schools and writing conferences, most recently for SCBWI Carolinas and the Highlights Foundation.
