SWRT 226 | Introducing Characters

Story Works Round Table with Alida Winternheimer | Conversations About Craft

This week on the Story Works Round Table, Alida & Robert talk about introducing characters to your readers on the page. After you've invested in your characters' development, make sure you don't skimp on the process of making introductions. There is a craft to making a solid first impression on your reader. One that doesn't overwhelm with a dump of traits but spirals the details of a person, physical and intangible, in a meaningful way into the character's first scene.

Want more ways to explore story craft? Join Alida's writing workshops. Making Your Readers Fear & Fear For Your Characters is Oct. 24th. Sign up at www.storyworksfiction.com
