EPISODE 17: Tips for creating compelling characters

Welcome to the Rage Against the Manuscript podcast. In this episode I discuss some of the ways I build the kinds of characters that keep pages turning and readers guessing. Plus, get a special sneak peek into my upcoming project, Rock Your Novel School.

 

Listen on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode:

  • The belief and the lie and the truth – let’s get serious (and confusing)

  • How to use a character’s “ghost” to give them depth.

  • The one question to ask yourself when you’re stuck in a story.

  • What I’m doing to help you finish your novel and improve your craft this year.

  • Who Rock Your Novel School will be awesome for, and who can give it a miss.

  • Why I give a 60-day guarantee.

    "Great characters tell themselves truths that are really lies."
