Writing People: How Characterization Works in Fiction, with Dave Daniel
Writing, like long-distance running, is a solitary pursuit, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one thanks to Seven Bridge Writers Collaborative. The Collaborative offers workshops helping writers of all stripes and stages hone their craft, critique groups harnessing the experience of writers with similar literary interests to see members’ manuscripts to completion, and forums reminding its writers to pause the work and celebrate their successes. The connection, camaraderie, and care found at SBWC is a boon for Central Mass. writers.
