In this video, we're going to explore the art of character creation – how to write complex characters that readers will love. We're going to learn the science of writing compelling characters, and how to use the different character archetypes to your advantage.

Whether you're a novice writer or a veteran author, we can all learn something. I do my best to avoid the stock advice and bring to light new ideas and concepts as it relates to creating characters.
