The Inkwell: Creating Compelling Characters

Creating compelling characters is not just an exercise in imagination. As an author, your role is not unlike a therapist’s, working with your characters to explore (and often reframe) their objectives, limiting beliefs, world views, and ethical complexities.

This guide explores each of these elements and includes 18 writing prompts designed to help you get to know your characters at the deepest level.

Provided to Inkwell members at no additional cost in June 2024.
