If agents or readers can’t connect with your characters, your book will not sell.
You need to know how your characters should dress, decode the nuance of body language, determine what they should say (and avoid saying), and have a clear understanding of how they should act so they connect with readers (and agents) on a deep, meaningful, emotional basis.
We’ll explore these crucial concepts while I provide essential tips and tricks to help you create relatable characters every time.
I invite you to join me for my FREE one-hour writing webinar. A live Q & A session follows the main presentation!
