SUMMARY:CAA NATIONAL WORKSHOP – Make Your Character's Life Difficult! with Gail Anderson-Dargatz
DESCRIPTION:Via Zoom. Free for CAA members; $25 for non-members. \nRegistration is required. PLEASE REGISTER HERE.  \nMake Your Character’s Life Difficult!\nWe often avoid our protagonist’s conflicts for the same reasons we avoid our own. The result: passive protagonists and wandering storylines. Author and mentor Gail Anderson-Dargatz will draw from more than twenty years of experience as a writer\, teacher\, and developmental editor to explore why we avoid conflict in our writing and offer solutions that will help you get narrative drive up and running. \nGAIL ANDERSON-DARGATZ’s internationally bestselling novels The Cure for Death by Lightning and A Recipe for Bees were both short-listed for the Giller Prize. Her thrillers The Almost Wife and The Almost Widow were national bestsellers\, and The Almost Widow was shortlisted for the Crime Writers of Canada Howard Engel Award for Best Crime Novel Set in Canada. HarperCollins will release her next novel\, The Atlas Keeper\, in the fall of 2026. Gail also writes hi-lo books for the educational market. She taught for nearly a decade in the CW MFA program at UBC and now works as a mentor and developmental editor. For more\, visit her website: gailanderson-dargatz.ca \n
