Write Iconic Characters

Iconic characters build unforgettable stories.

Iconic characters stick with us long after the final page. They become touchstones, reference points with which we describe friends, enemies, and ourselves.

Creating just one iconic character can transform your writing career. Readers will forgive all sorts of minor flaws in your stories if your characters strike deep into their humanity, connecting with both their light and shadow.

Write Iconic Characters reveals the psychology behind unforgettable characters by exploring the nine core fears and desires that drive human behavior. Master these forces, and you'll craft characters whose every choice feels inevitable and stories that readers can't put down.
