Recording: Mining Character - The Art and Science Behind Great Protagonists with Henry Neff
Readers spend more time with a story's protagonist than anyone else, yet many protagonists are bland, generic characters that lack the flair or charisma of sidekicks and villains. It doesn't need to be this way. Whether your MC's meant to be a scintillating hero or an unlikeable Scrooge, there are ways to craft protagonists that convey a sense of depth, relatability, and intrigue. By examining examples from literature and introducing some repeatable techniques, the webinar's aim is to give writers a practical foundation for upping their MC's game and crafting protagonists that not only merit the spotlight but make a lasting impression on readers.
