GROWING GREAT CHARACTERS FROM THE GROUND UP

As GROWING GREAT CHARACTERS FROM THE GROUND UP states, character development is the most important facet of any character-based book, because "readers won't follow for long if they find the people you're writing about dull, one-dimensional or unbelievable." After listing the three attributes of a great character, the book takes readers through a step-by-step process that teaches them how to develop characters from start to finish.

​

"Martha Engber's book is destined to become a must-have for any writer keen on improving his craft and writing great characters. I highly recommend it. Now I'm off to rename my character.”

​

"Delivers on the title's promise 'a thorough primer' by providing tons of practical advice, memorable examples, and images. Totally helpful and it's actually fun to read!”

​

“Martha Engber’s book is written as if by a close friend offering up some pointers. Its easy style and readability is a huge plus as one will be inclined to refer to it over and over again."
