Creating Unforgettable Characters by Linda Seger

"Linda's technique is a light to see by."
--Ray Bradbury

In this book, Linda Seger, author of Making a Good Script Great, shows how to create strong, multidimensional characters in fiction, covering everything from research to character block. She introduces concepts designed to stimulate the creative process, combining them with practical techniques and exercises. She also offers specific advice on creating nonfiction and fantasy characters, and case studies of such classics as Ordinary People and the sitcom Cheers.

Addressing topics from backstory development to character psychology to avoiding stereotypes, Creating Unforgettable Characters is an excellent resource for writers in any genre or creative field. Interviews with successful professional writers complete this essential volume.

Seger, Linda: - The author, Dr. Linda Seger, was the founder of the script consulting profession, and one of the authorities in the field of screenwriting, sought after for seminars and consulting and for her 9 books on screenwriting. She was at the top of her field. In 2009, she developed a movement disorder called dystonia which was aggravating, frustrating, and demanded hours of therapy a day. For a year she was unable to travel and reading was difficult. Just as she was improving, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. During this time, she began to write about her spiritual experiences, struggling with her medical problems and working through her relationship with God as someone wanting and waiting to be healed. Her theological background, and her refusal to give up on God, informed her journey. She hopes the digging deep that she has done will help illuminate the sufferings of others.
