Introducing Characters: 5 Methods – Patreon Only

Bob and I had such a great time talking about ways to introduce characters. By using examples from Emma, Lord Jim, The Maltese Falcon (and others) we unpack various techniques that you can use to make your character introductions more powerful.

We also talk about our personal process when setting up characters . . . and more!
