You may have a compelling story and an engaging style, but if your characters do not resonate with your reader or viewer, be it a novel or a screenplay, your project will not come alive and be successful.

You can spends years taking courses, going to workshops, completing assignments and exercises and studying what has been written by professional writers, and that is all good, but there are times when what you need to get yourself in gear, in the flow, or in the zone as athletes call it, is a simple shift in perspective.

This booklet may be small – 7,000 words (about 35-48 Kindle pages) – but it can be a valuable aid in helping you bring your characters to life. After the book has been read or the movie viewed, what your reader or audience will take away with them is often the rapport, the care and concern, and even a feeling of bonding with your characters. They may not recall all the carefully constructed twists and turns in the plot but human beings are innately interested in other people and that is typically where their attachment will be. And anything that can help you create memorable characters is a tool worth having.

So whether you are working on a novel, a screenplay, short stories, or making your first attempt at fiction writing, try some of these quick and easy tips for writing credible characters.

Enjoy your writing!
