Workshop: Creating characters

Jennifer Killick guides you through creating all-important characters, from finding a starting point to developing them into fully formed people that we know inside out, using some of her characters as examples.

Jennifer Killick is the author of Dread Wood, Crater Lake, Crater Lake Evolution, and the Alex Sparrow series. Jennifer regularly visits schools and festivals, and her books have been selected four times for the Reading Agency’s Summer Reading Challenge. She lives in Uxbridge, in a house full of children, animals and books. When she isn’t busy mothering or step-mothering (which isn’t often) she loves to watch scary movies and run as fast as she can, so she is fully prepared for witches, demons, and the zombie apocalypse.
