Create Compelling Characters For Novelists
HOMESTUDY COURSE
Our job as novelists is to create characters that our readers love. Or love to hate. Or want to be. Or want to jump into bed with.
Our characters need to feel real, engaging, and compelling, not just our main characters, but also our secondary characters and villains.
But how to actually do that?
In this course, we’ll cover how and go over some tools:
- what is the characters’ GMC (Goal, Motivation, and Conflict, from Deb Dixon)
- how to draft a useful backstory
- how to tap into the emotional range
- what is their appearance and how does that affect them
- general backstory and their turning point story
- using telling objects
- what are their important relationships
- how does their environment affect them
And we’ll go beyond the standard tools to cover:
- identity/belief shifts
- examine world building as it relates to the character
- excavate your characters’ archetype and function in the story
You’ll come away from this course with detailed character sketches for your stories.
A great course to take to prepare building your next novel or novella.
Especially for genre novelists.
