Do you have characters or stories in your books? Will your reader love ’em, hate ’em … or just not care? It’s a critical question that every author needs to deal with.
You can have the most compelling and creative plot out there, but without good characters your story just won’t move. But how do you come up with compelling characters that readers can relate too and get behind? That will be the subject of this webinar. We will delve into the creation of characters, and even how to write bios for them so we have something to refer back to when writing. So please come join me as we go over how to create engaging characters. Date is Wednesday, January 7th –details on the Events tab on the website. Freebie for AuthorU.org members. Get ready for Publish Smarter … Not Harder. Watch for the dates and get them on your calendar. Archives will be in the Logged in Members Only section.
