Off the Page Teen Writing Workshop—The Vices of Villainy: Crafting Vivacious Villains and Outstanding Antagonists
November 14 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Betty J. Johnson North Sarasota Library hosts a teen writing workshop with Ringling College of Art and Design as part of “Off the Page Literary Celebration.” Participants can examine the great villains and antagonists of literature, film, animation, and more to learn what makes them effective and memorable. In groups, teens will design their own villains and develop their goals, motives, morals, and origins to create compelling catalysts of conflict. Instructors will end the workshop with a fun interactive roleplay session to showcase the villains they created.

Funding is provided in part through a Florida Humanities Book Festival Grant with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and in partnership with the Library Foundation for Sarasota County.
