Magazine | How To Write Authentic and Diverse Characters


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered what makes some characters leap off the page while others fall flat? In this episode, we explore the art of creating authentic and diverse characters that resonate with readers. From building layered personalities to writing dialogue that truly fits, we’ll uncover the secrets to crafting characters that feel real.

We also tackle the big questions: Can writers create characters outside their own experiences? How do you avoid stereotypes while adding depth and nuance to your storytelling? And what are some subtle ways to show a character’s flaws without stating them outright?

Join us as we share actionable tips, fun anecdotes, and engaging discussions to inspire your writing journey. Whether you’re an aspiring writer or a seasoned storyteller, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you elevate your craft.

Stick around for our Learn with AI section, where we dive into discussion questions like how to balance relatability and uniqueness in characters, and how to ensure dialogue matches a character’s background and personality.
