Characters are the heart of your story

This workshop goes deep to bring your characters to LIFE for your readers.

Classic character development doesn't always go deep enough. It's one thing to know your character's personality, but it's another thing entirely to know their goals, subconscious beliefs, and more. Unlock the power of deep, powerful, radiant characters in this workshop—where we build more than solid protagonists. It's time to approach character development differently.

When I started this course I thought I had a good handle on my character, but I did not. By the time the course was over I knew my character front and back. I knew his fears, his motivations, his trauma... Everything that would propel him through his journey. P.K. teaches a master class here. Her enthusiasm for her students is infectious. You can tell that she is someone that has a real passion for writers and their stories. Thank you so much, P.K.!

This workshop excelled in absolutely every way possible, leaving me as an astounded customer (& am almost never a happy customer with other people's services). Even with sections that were very similar to material I already developed for myself, it came across as fresh & interesting. That alone is unique enough these days. I was mesmerized by elements I didn't already have in my material. The course kept my rapt attention the entire time and it was such a glorious experience, it really was like a fireworks display in my brain. For those who have not taken this course yet, stop waiting. Do it immediately & copy everything to use with every one of your characters! THANK YOU, PK -- you are amazing!

This course was absolutely everything it needed to be and so much more. PK is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. She lays everything out in a wonderfully intuitive way and will help guide you to that eureka (or as she puts it "Ah-Ha") moment with your character. If you think you know your character, you probably don't know it as well as you hope. This course will help make your character a true part of you. Make some space in the corner of your brain, because your fully fleshed-out character is moving in after this course and they need to be added to the lease.
