Three guesses what it’s about … but here’s the formal blurb…
How do you create characters who keep readers hooked? How do you write the opposite sex? Teenagers? Believable relationships? Historical characters? Enigmatic characters? Plausible antagonists and chilling villains? How do you understand a character whose life is totally unlike your own?
How do you write characters for dystopias? How do you make dialogue sing? When can you let the reader intuit what the characters are feeling and when should you spell it out?
I’ve mined 20 years’ worth of writing and critiquing experience to create this book. It contains all the pitfalls and sticky points for writers, laid out as a set of discussions that are easy to dip into. And it wouldn’t be a Nail Your Novel book without a good dose of games, exercises and questionnaires to help you populate a novel from scratch.
Weightless editions are twinkling on the servers of Amazon, Smashwords and Kobo.
If you like more heft in your hand, the fully-indexed 204-page paperback is available from Amazon.
Whether you write a straightforward story-based genre or literary fiction, Writing Characters Who’ll Keep Readers Captivated will show you how to create people who enthrall readers – and make you want to tell stories.
