What makes a character interesting? How do you build a convincing character arc? Does every story have a hero? How many shades of villain are there? How does a writer bring their characters alive?
In this timeless little book, lecturer Amy Jones describes the secret techniques that writers use to create their characters, along with their archetypes, backstories, motivations, modes of dialogue, habits, hopes, fears, flaws, frustrations . . . and eventual resolutions and redemptions.
Amy Jones heads a leading English department in a Somerset college, where she lectures in language, literature, linguistics, and creative writing as well as poetry and narrative theory. She is also the author of Literary Devices, Plot, and Narrative in this series.
