“If you injure your neighbor, better not do it by halves.” — George Bernard Shaw
In our next installment in the Rock and a Hard Place virtual learning lab, we’re going to get bloody and we’re going to get bruised as we mold our characters with some well-placed, well-timed hurtin’ bombs.
Join us for a writing workshop webinar with New York Times Bestselling author S.A. Cosby (guest editor on the upcoming RHP Under The Thumb anthology, due later this year) entitled “Informing Character Through Violence.”
Writers have countless tools to bring characters to life, to fill their backstories, and to make them unique. But, have you ever considered using violence not simply as entertainment, not just to move the plot, but as a tool to inform your characters? How your characters engage in, justify, or react to violence can speak volumes about their motivations, their histories, their hopes, and more.
In this exclusive Rock and a Hard Place webinar, you will learn techniques to build your characters with violence from noir master S.A. Cosby (author of the Anthony-Award winning Blacktop Wasteland and New York Times Bestseller, Razorblade Tears).
For only $60 you’ll get feedback on your concepts from S.A. Cosby and interact with other writers and members of the Rock and a Hard Place Editorial Team.
Proceeds from this webinar will pay contributors an honorarium for their work appearing in the Under The Thumb: Stories of Police Oppression anthology coming this October from Rock and a Hard Place Press (as a reminder, all proceeds for Under the Thumb will be directed towards charity, but we also believe in paying writers for their work).
We’re incredibly excited for this webinar workshop with one of our favorites, S.A. Cosby. Hope you can join us for a great conversation as we learn how to sculpt and shape our characters through violence. Just please… try to remember to bring the Tylenol…
