Write Characters-Creating People Readers Will Love

About this ebook
Are you struggling with creating your characters or are you getting rejection letters but you’re pretty sure you have a storyline that rocks?
It isn’t always the plot readers remember the most about a book but a character or characters that captures their attention; holds their interest, and forces them to read on to find out what happens.
They’re the people in your story who beckons to the reader from page one and says I’ve got this story to tell you, do you want to come along for the ride?
And that’s why I created this short guide.
It isn’t so much a how to create a great character but a set of exercises for you to try in order to help you flesh out lifelike three dimensional people every time you sit down to write and hence lessen the chances of your story being rejected or you not hitting all the marks with your readers.
Once you’ve tackled all ten of them, you’ll know your character like your best friend, and may even know them better than you know yourself.
