Section 3: Produce ‘real’ characters

Many of us have the elements of a good story but we struggle to flesh out our characters.

Characters are often the most important element of fiction. How can we ensure that the characters we create are memorable? What makes them stand out in a book and how can we write such characters?

Section outcome:

1. Learn what makes some characters work and how you can adapt the same in your writing.
2. Edit your own work better and introduce new elements such as dialogue or context to make your characters work
