Writing Workshop: Writing Memorable Characters

In-Person Program

West Hollywood City Poet Laureate Jen Cheng offers a workshop to inspire memorable characters using prompts and improv exercises to sharpen characters for writers of all levels. For adults.

Whether it's narrative or poetry, bring your work-in-progress or start something new. In celebration of Women's History Month, there will be a component of the class about writing strong female characters. Refreshments provided by the Friends of the West Hollywood Library.

Jen Cheng is the Fifth West Hollywood Poet Laureate, author of Braided Spaces, a 2023 California Arts Council Fellow, and a multidisciplinary storyteller who amplifies under-represented voices. Jen is the founder of Palabras Literary Salon, celebrating BIPOC poets and writers. Jen blends East-West cultural influences in a new form, Feng Shui Poetry. With stories for tween audiences, mystery detective fans, and queer love, Jen is a cross-pollinator. Find her on Twitter/IG @JenCvoice or JenCvoice.com.
