Character & Emotion Resources
I’m a character writer. I’ve always been a character writer. I’ll probably always be a character writer.
But if that’s not the case for you, this page will help you at least get to know your character’s backstory, current emotional journey, and the twists and turns they’ll eventually take on their path to their best self.
I send out free tips on this principle and more through The Editor–Author Perspective newsletter the first Tuesday of every month. Join the list here.
If you’re looking for something even more in-depth, head on over to my store.
And of course, remember that I’m a trained professional story coach and developmental editor thrilled for the chance to guide you on your drafting and revising journey. Check out my Services page to book your free consultation, and let’s get started reflecting on your story one word at a time!

With nothing pressuring your character to change, nothing will force them to move through the story. Use this Conflict Map to help figure out what’s in your POV character’s why and what they’ll lose if they don’t get it, scene by scene.

More resources on the way!
