Need to Breathe Life into Your Characters?


You may have a great story but if your characters are flat and uninteresting your readers will find your story dull. If your lead protagonist isn't generating empathy, then no one cares what happens to them. Character Development covers every aspect of character building; from developing charismatic and believable people, to making sure they work holistically to drive the narrative forward in realistic ways.



Know Your Anti-Hero from Your Antagonist


In order to create compelling characters your readers will love, Marsh introduces the reader to 12-character types and explains how and when they are introduced to a story. She demonstrates the importance of instilling flaws to create a balance of human qualities that evolve throughout the novel in captivating ways.



Inspires New Connections


There will be many thought-provoking subjects for both beginner and experienced authors that will motivate a much deeper conception of characters, some of which include:

  1. How Characters are Presented & Revealed
  2. Creating Expression
  3. Let You Characters Suffer
  4. Bringing Characters to Life
  5. Use Contradictions
  6. Listen to Them
  7. Give Your Characters Plenty of Opportunity to Show Up
