Characters drive your story. They're what connect the reader to your work. It's important to get them right.

First discussed at 2022 CHICON WORLDCON, this workbook is for building inclusive characters with depth, complexity, and internal consistency. This workbook contains what I do to create a character, and how to use this worksheet to interrogate the character build. It also shows how I use the character creation tool with one of my main characters from THE DYING SUN, Merikh Madiaran.

In the .zip, you'll receive the .pdf workbook and a .docx and .rtf of the character creation template.
