This ninety-five page book lays out what you need to do to develop memorable characters, and tells you how to do it. With clear explanations and examples, Callan presents a clear road map to creating characters your readers will connect with, love (or hate) and tell their friends about. In addition, most chapters end with exercises to help you put into practice what was covered in the text.

Chapters cover such things as –
• considerations if this character will be part of a series
• the importance of selecting the right name
• setting the goals for you character
• the importance of first impressions
• the power of internalization, and the dangers
• how similies & metaphors can enhance your character
• the fourth dimension
• conflict, the necessary element
• why you want a sidekick for your protagonist, and what you don’t want
• why you must have a strong antagonist
• how to make character bios
• and much more.

“I am impressed, because it’s absolutely the best book I’ve read so far on character development.” Ginnie Siena Bivona, former Acquisition Editor for The Republic of Texas Press, and Publisher at Atriad Press. (
