Characters are the only part of your story that can look back at the reader. Every character starts as a blank page on a cluttered desk. Your job is to build them into someone worth remembering. The Character Workshop is a practical, writer-to-writer guide to building characters that carry weight, drive plot, and earn their place in your reader's memory. From choosing the right character for your story to crafting arcs that feel earned, this book gives you the tools, techniques, and exercises to build characters with intention. New character? Start over. Use the book again. That's what it's here for.
