A Change of Character

National Centre for Writing, Dragon Hall
Tickets: £30.00 - £40.00
Join celebrated author Nicola Dinan — fresh off the release of her highly anticipated second novel, Disappoint Me — for a dynamic and stimulating workshop on crafting unforgettable characters in fiction.
Discover how observing change in characters can elevate your storytelling. Together, you’ll explore compelling questions:
- What should stay the same, and what must change?
- What drives transformation in characters?
- How can we make these changes feel authentic and powerful?
Through lively discussions, Nicola will guide you in analysing examples from literature and your own writing. Plus, practical exercises will help you master the nuances of character evolution.
Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this workshop offers fresh insights to sharpen your craft.

Bellies, her debut, won the Polari First Book Prize, was shortlisted for the Diverse Book Awards and Mo Siewcharran Prize, was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award, and was longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and Brooklyn Public Library Book Prize.
