 In this episode, Sarah and Lisa discuss how they research and  create characters. It's a tricky one to summarise in dot points, but here  we go:

  • Sarah shares the key things she includes in a character summary sheet for her protagonists and secondary characters

  • Sarah discusses the "Easter Egg" character she includes in each of her books
  • They discuss what "keeping a character consistent" means (to them)
