Casting Characters

Lighthouse Writers Workshop

Using Tarot decks, participants will be able to create and develop the characters in their works-in-progress or stories-to-be, using the details found in the cards and tried-and-true techniques. For fiction writers, the Tarot cards can be used to unveil the unknown, whereas memoirists can use the arcana to remember what matters most about the people who populate their pages. We’ll blend this divinatory approach with concrete craft by also discussing character development as a crucial element of narrative. No Tarot knowledge needed (seriously!).
