ABOUT THIS SESSION

 

Why do some characters have to die? In this candid panel, authors unpack the creative and emotional decisions behind killing off characters. They explore how death shapes story, raises stakes, and serves theme, while discussing when a character’s death strengthens a narrative and when it risks losing the reader.
