Find your authentic voice in writing with SORT OF’s Zaiba Baig.

Peabody Award winner Zaiba Baig (HBO Max, CBC) leads a brand-new PlayPEN course on building characters that sound like no one else. Real Talk: Unleashing the Most Honest Form of Character Voice gives writers the tools to make their characters truly specific and idiosyncratic, embracing identity-conscious writing that doesn't shy away from race, gender, and class on the page. Whether you're a screenwriter, playwright, or just someone who knows their dialogue needs more life, this course will change how you hear your characters.

Wednesdays online, May 27–June 24. Spots are extremely limited.

Applications close May 15, apply here: https://playme-courses.vercel.app/

Paid intensive; limited subsidized spots available — contact [email protected] to inquire.
