How to Write (Un)LIkeable Characters
The most realistic, believable, relatable characters come from embracing unlikeable traits that are a part of all of us. Discover how you can tap into that with this brand new guide.
About The Guide
When readers don’t connect with characters, they get bored faster than you can say, ‘return’. They become less interested in what happens to your characters, and if you’re writing a series, they’re less likely to purchase the next book.
People want to see more than just sunshine and rainbows on the page. Goodness and light all the time is boring to read. Soap operas aren’t popular because characters are fun or likeable—they’re popular because they’re humans going through heightened drama. The heightened plot lines draw people in. Audiences care about what happens because they care about the characters.
Bring your characters to life by embracing their ‘negative’ (translation: human) traits in this new guide by bestselling author, blogger, and writing coach, Kristina Adams.
