Building Believable Characters: An Author Coaching Experience

Michael Davis

He knows what to look for, like the voice behind the first chapter of my M/M romance. He is really helpful with those tips and critique.

This project involved one-on-one coaching with an aspiring writer focused on enhancing their ability to develop well-rounded, believable characters and effectively integrate them into the plot.
Over the course of our sessions, I provided tailored feedback and exercises that helped my mentee overcome common pitfalls in character development and plot integration. Together, we explored techniques for creating characters that not only resonate with readers but also drive the narrative forward, ensuring that character motivations and actions were seamlessly woven into the story’s progression.
The coaching sessions resulted in significant improvements in my mentee’s writing, as evidenced by their enhanced ability to create cohesive and compelling narratives.

Through personalized coaching sessions, I guided a writer in peeling back the layers of their characters so that they could better connect to their story.
