All about character arcs!

This last weekend, I taught a class on character arcs at the LDStorymakers Writers’ Conference. I was really pleased with how it went!

Today I’m sharing the presentation itself as well as links to all the articles I referenced in my presentation. So, here we go!

The References

A lot of the presentation came from my series on character arcs:

My character arcs series is also available as a free PDF! (More free writing guides.)

Other awesome references:

Blog posts on Michael Hauge’s classes:

These are the articles I referenced directly, but I studied a lot of great information on character arcs. I’ll be sharing more about character arcs later this week on my newsletter—be sure to join for the latest news & writing resources!

With a brand new baby, attending a conference is always a challenge. My husband was wonderful enough to take care of her at home until after my presentations, and then I took her after that.

Baby’s first writers’ conference! (She was 5.5 weeks.)

It’s always so good to hang out with “my people”: writers!

What do you think? What’s your favorite part of writers’ conferences? Were you at Storymakers? What was your favorite part?
