Writer Katie Marie (K.M.) Wayland is known not only for her popular novels, but also for her textbooks on literary crafts. A winner of prestigious awards, she has a great sense of the dynamics of the text and knows how to make the reader empathize with the characters and follow the development of the plot. She dedicated her new book to the topic of developing character arcs. Why a character arc? Because if your hero does not change in any way throughout the entire story, does not develop and does not learn anything, but stagnate in one place, no one will be interested in him. On the contrary, the ability to build a character arc is a key skill of the author of any literary work, be it fiction or a script for film and television. After reading this book, you will learn how a positive arc differs from a negative and flat one, whether your work can have several at once arches or not have any at all. Popular presentation, author's style and analysis of famous films provide the book with the widest audience.
