How to Create Believable Characters
We Know You Have Storyteller’s Blood in You
Almost every professional writer we know loves to tell stories. To craft worlds and wondrous tales. To fill them with amazing, compelling characters that readers fall in love with.
Believable characters. Characters so alive, they almost seem real.
Character creation is harder than it seems – some of the best writers have tried and failed to make people in their stories seem so real that they could reach out and touch you at any moment.
Character creation isn’t about describing how a person looks, what their name is, where they came from.
It comes from a deeper place. It’s about how characters think and believe and sleep and eat and fall in love and dream and want and desire and do all the things they do.
We know how to create those characters.
Without good characters, your story is nothing.
You’ve seen it on the shelves yourself: really wonderful storytelling, rich details, fascinating plot, brilliant imagery. And characters that fall flat. Two-dimensional people only there to serve the plot.
You don’t believe in them – and because you can’t believe in them, you can’t believe in the story.
If you want to create stories that people really fall into, really believe, you need characters who are beyond behaving realistically.
You need characters who are simply real.
How to Create Believable Characters was specifically written and designed to show you how to create those characters. We go way beyond the basics and get you thinking about your character in ways you think about other people in your life. Your best friend, your parents, your siblings. You don’t ever think these people are unrealistic, two-dimensional or just not that interesting.
That’s because they’re people. They’re real. And it’s entirely possible to create fictional characters who feel just as real to you as any flesh-and-blood person you have ever known. You just have to think about them in the right way.
This ebook helps you do exactly that.
In How to Create Believable Characters, you’ll learn:
- How to stop thinking of your creations as characters – and start thinking of them as human beings
- Where the essence of a believable character comes from, and how to bring it to your writing
- The near-magic trick to make your characters come to life in the minds of your readers
- How to banish hackneyed, clichéd characters and make your character a unique individual
- When and how the appearance of your character is important – it’s a lot later than you think
- What makes up a character personality, and how to give your character one that shines
- Why your character needs a personal philosophy about life, and how to create a realistic one
- How to handle your character’s environment – economic, cultural, and physical
We don’t cover for-granted basics like what hair color to choose or whether characters were emotionally impacted by their father dying when they were five. That’s two-dimensional stuff. That’s for amateurs. We’re talking about character creation tips and tricks that make your story real.
There are a lot of bad writers out there, and they have as many different ways of being terrible at writing as there are colors in a Crayola box.
There are only a few really great writers out there, and they all have one thing in common: Their characters aren’t just characters. They’re real people. Readers have fallen in love with Gatsby, and Peter Pan, and Elizabeth Bennett countless times over years for a reason.
Those characters seem real. They seem like people that might actually exist. And readers want to know them – want to get closer to them and know them beyond what the author could possibly give them.
What would it be worth to you to have characters so believable that when your readers put a story of yours down, they wished like mad there was more story, another book you wrote, so they could be with that character just a little longer?
What would it be worth to have characters so real that no one wants to let them go?
If your answer is more than $24 – and it should be – then you should buy this book. Creating believable characters is invaluable to a writer. Without the proper knowledge on character creation, you’ll never be as good as you want to be. That novel will stay stuck in the back drawer. That stack of short stories won’t go off to the journals. Readers will never remember you, your storytelling, or your characters.
And it’ll be because you know you’re not ready yet. Your characters aren’t believable enough.
You’ll know it when they are. After you read How to Create Believable Characters, you’ll know just what you’ve been missing all this time. You’ll know how to set it right.
And if you have the willpower to sit down and write, you’ll be on your way to succeeding.
