Overview

Author Cathy Marie (K.M.) Wayland is known not only for her popular novels, but also for her manuals on literary craftsmanship. The winner of prestigious awards, she perfectly feels the dynamics of the text and knows how to make the reader empathize with the characters and follow the development of the plot. She devoted her new book to the topic of developing character arcs. Why the character arc? Because if your hero does not change in any way throughout history, does not develop and does not learn anything, but marks time in one place, he is of no interest to anyone. Conversely, the ability to build a character arc is a key skill for the author of any literary work, whether it be fiction or a screenplay for film and television. After reading this book, you will learn how a positive arch differs from a negative and flat one, whether your work can have several arches at once or not have one at all. The popular presentation, the author's style and analysis of famous films provide the book with the widest audience.
