Do you struggle to create memorable, realistic characters that your readers love?

If so, we have a new short course for you!

You see, we asked the Am Writing Fantasy Facebook group what THEY would like to see as a short course to aid them in their writing while sheltering in place during this global pandemic. Character development came out with twice as many votes as the next runner-up. (Sorry, Jesper, we will try to get Map Making to rank higher next time!)

With that sort of data and demand, we knew we had to get cracking. And we did!

Character Development: Essential Skills was born less than three weeks later!

If you are looking to add some punch to your characters or question who should be a POV character, this is the perfect course for you!

There are 6 modules (plus a bonus module), providing you with 86 minutes of guidance on the key methods to create fantastic characters that are unique, fit your story, and will linger in reader’s minds.

This course covers:

• 8 Character Archetypes every writer needs to know
• Understanding character motivation
• What comes first – plotting or character development?
• Guidelines on POV characters
• Character arcs explained
• And more!

All of that jam packed into a short course that will give you the skills, the essential skills (🤣), on how to develop characters, create arcs, tie them to the plot, and even how to select a POV character and then get you back to creating and writing!

How is that for a valuable way to spend less than 2 hours of your writing time?

Check out the new short course Character Development: Essential Skills and enhance your characters and writing.
