How do you avoid writing the stock villain?  How do you move beyond the cliche to create a bad guy that surprises us? That goes against the status quo? 

On today’s episode of Writer Unleashed, we’ll explore 5 ways to create a villain that defies stereotype.

We'll discuss:

• What readers really want from your villain
• How to explore what's underneath your character's bad acts
• Better questions to get under your villain's skin
• How to tap into your own impulses to write more nuanced and believable villains
