Great writing isn’t just about what’s on the page—it’s about what’s beneath it. Here, I explore why writers must know more about their characters and settings than they reveal to readers. Drawing on examples from film, poetry, and fiction, I share how background knowledge keeps the distinction clear between narrator and writer and how it shapes convincing narratives, even when it remains unseen. 

Learn how to create richer, more immersive stories by developing deep character backstories and authentic settings—without overwhelming your reader with unnecessary detail.
