Develop compelling character arcs using the power of myth
In the best novels, characters undergo dramatic changes that
keep readers turning pages. "A Writer's Guide to Characterization"
shows you how to develop such meaningful character arcs in your own
work--stories of transformation that will resonate with readers
long after the story ends.
In this comprehensive guide, author Victoria Lynn Schmidt
examines cross-cultural archetypes to illustrate how they can make
your work more powerful and compelling. Plus, you'll learn how to
draw from Jungian psychology to add complexity and believability to
your characters.
Schmidt also provides:
- 40 lessons on character development (with examples from
well-known films and novels) that you can apply to your own
work
- Questionnaires and exercises to help you select male and female
archetypes and adapt them to your story
- 15 classic animal archetypes (including the coyote, snake,
tiger, and butterfly) you can use to build convincing character
profiles
With "A Writer's Guide to Characterization," you'll have the
information you need to infuse the development of your characters
with drama and authenticity.
