Today I’ve attached a resource for you to help with planning your novels. You can use it if you’re midway through too, often I start with lighter versions of the characters and gradually add more information - sometimes mid-novel as I feel I learn more about them.

This resource, the first of a few that I have planned to share with you in the coming weeks is a character template. It covers all the content you’d need to help develop authentic and realistic characters within your novel. Every single one of these resources will be available in full to all paid subscribers.

The link is below, and I’ve also walked you through a couple of pointers to help you make the most of this resource.
