Writer Katie Marie (K.M.) Weiland is known not only for her popular novels, but also for books on writing craft. A winner of prestigious awards, she perfectly feels the dynamics of a text and knows how to make readers empathize with characters and follow the development of the plot.
She devoted her new book to the development of character arcs. Why specifically a character arc? Because if your hero doesn’t change, doesn’t develop, and doesn’t learn anything throughout the story—just stands in one place—he isn’t interesting to anyone. And conversely, the ability to build a character arc is a key skill for any author, whether writing fiction prose or writing screenplays for film and television.
After reading this book, you’ll learn how a positive arc differs from a negative and flat one, whether your work can have several arcs at once—or none at all. A popular presentation, the author’s style, and analysis of well-known films give the book the widest possible audience.
