Developing Characters

Writing Time

Available for over a year

Beryl Bainbridge, Malcolm Bradbury, and Claire Boylan discuss techniques for developing characters, moving them across your chosen landscape, and giving them a background. "If you can build a character slowly and subtly and then you surprise the reader by having them do or say something unexpected, you're creating a third dimension," says author Paul Bailey. Presented by Russell Celyn Jones.
