Writing Sidekicks Workshop
Make Your Supporting Characters Impossible to Forget
A sidekick should never feel like they exist just to crack jokes, deliver information, or help the hero get from one plot point to the next.
The best sidekicks have wants of their own. They challenge the protagonist. They create emotional stakes. They make us laugh, worry, hope—and sometimes completely break our hearts.
In this two-part interactive workshop, USA Today Bestselling Author Katherine D. Graham will show you how to build supporting characters readers connect with as deeply as the hero.
You’ll explore how to give your sidekicks meaningful motivations, distinct personalities, believable relationships, and a real role in the emotional fabric of your story.
What You'll Gain:
2 x 90-minute interactive workshop sessions with USA Today Bestselling Author Katherine D. Graham
Practical techniques for creating sidekicks with their own personality, purpose, motivations, and emotional depth
A stronger understanding of how supporting characters can deepen your protagonist, strengthen relationships, and increase reader investment
