Far too often, aspiring writers’ character descriptions involve mundane activities, accompanied by a list of personality traits and/or physical attributes, which doesn’t pique the reader’s interest.

In this video, we’ll show you how to transform a basic description to a professional level character introduction that immediately hooks the reader.

Here’s what’s coming up:
• What makes a great description: interesting action, show vs. tell, the flaw.
• A comparison of amateur and pro samples from different genres.
• The “exception” to the rules. What works about the description and why.

Over to You:
• Ask yourself, how can I introduce my characters in an engaging way?
• Study great character descriptions. Compare your script. Practice!
• What do you think of our methods outlined in this video?

Let us know in the comments section below the video.
