​How to Bring your Characters to Life
Chair: Adele Jones
Date: Saturday 18 July
Location: Main Stage, USQ Toowoomba Campus
Time: 2.15pm-3.15pm

Discussion: Plot can only carry a book so far, it’s the characters that drive the story and stay with the reader long after the book is closed. But how do you bring your characters to life and ensure they are memorable enough?

Panellists: Adele Jones

Her first Young Adult novel,Integrate, was awarded the 2013 CALEB Prize for unpublished manuscript. Her writing is inspired by a passion for family, faith, friends, music and science – and her broad ranging imagination. Visit her website.
