Powerful Character Arcs Create Powerful Stories Have you written a story with an exciting concept and interesting characters—but it just isn’t grabbing the attention of readers or agents? It’s time to look deeper into the story beats that create realistic and compelling character arcs. Internationally published, award-winning novelist K.M.

By applying the foundation of the Three-Act Story Structure and then delving even deeper into the psychology of realistic and dynamic human change, Weiland offers a beat-by-beat checklist of character arc guidelines that flexes to fit any type of story. This comprehensive book will teach you:

Why you should NEVER pit plot against character. Instead, learn how to blend story structure and character development.

How to recognize and avoid the worst pitfalls of writing novels without character arcs.

How to hack the secret to using overarching character arcs to create amazing trilogies and series.

And much more!

评论 ······

还是很传统的那一套,不过讲解明了细致,很好读。中间各种引切斯特顿和克尔凯郭尔,还在奇怪这作者咋这么对口味。结果结尾看到Dedicated to my beloved Savior:)

已读完英文版,非常实用,如果罗伯特·麦基的故事是内功心法,这本就是武功招式,虽然比较公式化,但是作为写故事的起点非常有帮助,可以在此基础上发展自己的风格思路
