Your book needs a strong hero. Or perhaps, an anti-hero.
It's hard to imagine a captivating story without a strong main character at the center of it. Without a main character that audiences are rooting for, most stories fall flat on the page.
We can all think of famous main characters:
Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games
Mark Watney in the Martian
Frodo in the Lord of the Rings
Our favorite stories involve a memorable character facing engaging conflicts. Building strong main characters is the key to a successful story.
Join our live 90-minute interactive workshop, designed to empower you with the skills needed to craft memorable characters that keep the audience turning pages! Then get expert feedback on your own characters and plot.

What our Members Say About Our Courses
I've never felt so welcome and valued in a course before. Both teachers and students were so graceful towards one another from start to finish.
I enjoyed this course very much, and it has helped give me new things to think about when crafting my own work, regardless of genre. Thanks so much for putting it together!
One of the things I most wanted to improve was the scare factor and intense scenes, really building up that fear. And I thought the class helped with that a ton!
