Writers Craft Opportunity!

Seekerville is a great place for writers to hang out and study craft and network. We also offer online night classes. Authors Myra Johnson and Dora Hiers will teach you how to create memorable, three-dimensional characters who will live in your readers’ minds long after the story ends. CREATING CHARACTERS THAT COME ALIVE  is a self-paced course, which means you do not have to show up at any particular time. If you are doing NaNoWriMo, the lessons will be waiting for you when you finish your manuscript! Class is only three weeks long, November 3-22, but jam packed with information!
