Create characters that readers obsess over. The kind that inspires artwork, cosplay, fanfic, and dreams about your next book.

📘 How to create memorable characters like a bestselling author--even if you're a brand-new writer.
📘 A surprisingly simple method to make your characters more realistic. It only takes a few minutes to implement!
📘 How to tie character development to the plot to keep readers turning the page long after they should have gone to sleep.
📘 What most aspiring authors don't know about the role of relationships in character development.
📘 What NOT to waste time on when creating a character (some common advice will never make your characters realistic or likable).
📘 What every writer NEEDS to know about character arcs before they can write a story they'll be proud of.
📘 How to make every character unique and unforgettable from their first line.
📘 Easy ways to use psychology to create a protagonist that readers love (or a complex antagonist they love to hate).
