About the event

Author Deeba Zargarpur is hosting Heroes and Villains workshop at Sharjah International Book Fair 2024 in the Comic Corner.


A free interactive class on what is a good hero and a good villain. This will focus on the art of crafting three dimensional protagonists and antagonists, while emphasizing that a "villain" never sees themselves as the bad guy, but as the hero of their own story. Writers who attend are expected to have a story in progress and are looking to elevate their heroes and villains. Deeba will give examples and tips on how to ensure these characters stay three dimensional and how to keep a reader sympathetic even to the "bad guys".


This will be a 30 minute lecture with 15 minutes open to questions from writers.
