Author Katie Marie (KM) Weiland is known not only for her popular novels but also for her writing manuals. A winner of prestigious awards, she has a keen sense of the dynamics of text and knows how to make readers empathize with their characters and follow the plot’s development.
She dedicated her new book to the topic of developing character arcs. Why a character arc? Because if your hero doesn’t change, develop, or learn anything throughout the story, but rather stagnates, no one is interested in them. Conversely, the ability to build a character arc is a key skill for the author of any literary work, whether it’s fiction or a screenplay for film and television.
After reading this book, you’ll learn the difference between a positive arc and a negative or flat one, and whether your work can have multiple arcs or none at all. The popular presentation, the author’s style, and analysis of famous films ensure the book’s widest audience.
