Celeste Barclay joins us to talk about writing strong, diverse characters to help us put out the best possible product.

Highlights:

~Become your character

~Make sure there is growth on some level from the beginning to the end

~Think of your character as a real human being rather than some object

We also talk about being an “Authorpreneure.” You can learn more about Celeste and her historical romance at the following links.
