Because they haven't paid attention to all the essential elements that go into making a great character.

Packed with practical examples and exercises, this superb resource ensures we not only know what to pay attention to, but exactly how to implement these powerful strategies for creating memorable characters.

Not only that, I am now equipped with the precise tools to go about it.
