2022 Hungerford Award winner Molly Schmidt used skills from her career as a journalist to shape authentic characters in her novel Salt River Road. From consulting with Noongar Elders, to interviewing sheep farmers and skateboarders, Molly’s goal was to depict her characters as faithfully as possible. In this hands-on workshop, Molly will share creative writing and research techniques that will help you get to know your own characters better – and connect you more deeply to real people along the way.
This workshop is designed to help you get to know your characters better and to conceptualise a character during the workshop. Participants are invited to bring character ideas along (no matter how rough!) and a vague concept of where stories might be set.
