Creating a strong protagonist

Chaired by Kathleen Whyman. Join us for a lively discussion on crafting compelling protagonists who drive the narrative forward. 

Hosted by Kathleen Whyman, our panelists will share insights on building authentic connections between characters and audiences, the importance of backstory and motivation, and techniques for developing relatable flaws. We'll explore how protagonists should evolve throughout their journey and grow meaningfully by the final page. 

Whether you're wrestling with a reluctant hero or a too-perfect protagonist, you'll hear how to get your main characters to work actively for their goals, rather than passively reacting to events, resulting in protagonists who readers will champion and remember.
