WORKSHOP INFO
At both Read Local Book Festival and Utah Authors Day, I have been invited to present this workshop:
Designing Characters Readers Remember
Learn how to bring characters to life through a fun, interactive process. Using creative questionnaires and the seven universal human emotions, we’ll explore how personality traits, quirks, and body language can shape unforgettable characters that resonate with readers.
Workshop Times:
Read Local Book Festival: noon - 1 pm
Utah Author Day: 10:30 am - 11:15 am

I and my kids have read Tara C Allred’s books and we love them!!! The Other Side of Quiet is my favorite. Total page turner!!!! It is a totally amazing how well she develops the 13 characters in this book. And we can’t wait to read the final book in Tara‘s present series, the Existence Series. Also, such page turners. My kids had the privilege of doing Tara C Allred’s writer’s workshop twice now. She teaches the kids how she develops her characters so well. One workshop they did in person with our homeschool co-op, and one virtually with a group of 5 kids. Both were a total hit. A couple kids in our homeschool co-op thought they didn’t…
If there is any author that I would try to come all the way from California to see it would be for Tara Allred. She is so amazing! I know several people who have attended her workshops and they all rave about how beneficial they are for anyone trying to improve their writing. Can’t say enough great things about Tara.
What an inspiring blog and schedule to share. Looking forward to attending if possible. Thankyou for opportunities to learn and grow.
