The Science of Writing Characters is a comprehensive handbook to
help writers create compelling and psychologically-credible
characters that come to life on the page. Drawing on the latest
psychological theory and research, ranging from personality theory
to evolutionary science, the book equips screenwriters and
novelists with all the techniques they need to build complex,
dimensional characters from the bottom up. Writers learn how to
create rounded characters using the 'Big Five' dimensions of
personality and then are shown how these personality traits shape
action, relationships and dialogue. Throughout The Science of
Writing Characters, psychological theories and research are
translated into handy practical tips, which are illustrated through
examples of characters in action in well-known films, television
series and novels, ranging from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing
Missouri and Game of Thrones to The Bonfire of the Vanities and The
Goldfinch. This very practical approach makes the book an engaging
and accessible companion guide for all writers who want to better
understand how they can make memorable characters with the
potential for global appeal.
