Character Flaws

with Angela Ackerman

Angela discusses the importance of hobbling a protagonist with flaws to establish believability, create friction opportunities with other characters, and of course, to sabotage the hero’s greatest strengths, making it difficult for him to achieve his goals and emerge whole (character arc).

Angela Ackerman is a writing coach and bestselling co-author of The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Expression, The Positive Trait Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Attributes and The Negative Trait Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Character Flaws. A Canadian and a fan of paying it forward, she blogs at Writers Helping Writers, a description hub filled with innovative tools for writers.

Angela will also have her books available for purchase at the event! If you are interested, please bring cash or cheque.
