Writing Characters With Soul

A 4- Week Speculative Fiction Group Coaching Event

Change the Way You Look at Building Characters

Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 20-14-38 Group Coaching Market Copy for Site

If you’ve ever felt like your characters were almost there
If you’ve received feedback like couldn’t connect with the main character
If you’ve been told that your main character doesn’t feel fully alive

This 4-Week group coaching course is for writers who- crave depth, emotional resonance, and who want to write characters that feel like real people with real souls.

Together, we’ll explore the inner life of your protagonist’s fears, their longings, the stories they tell and don’t tell themselves, the wounds they carry, and the transformation they’re capable of.

By the End of this Course, Writers will have

A protagonist with clear wants, desires, and stakes
A psychologically grounded personality profile
A meaningful backstory and misbelief that fuels conflict
Defined starting and ending points for a compelling character arc
The confidence and clarity to write forward with purpose

Course Work Overview:

Lesson One — Building Wants, Desires, and Stakes
Every unforgettable speculative story begins with a character who needs something. In this lesson, writers uncover the emotional engine that drives their protagonist forward, by developing the main character’s wants, desires, and stakes.
Lesson Two — Building Personality Traits From Scratch
This lesson goes beyond demographics to build characters. It teaches writers how to construct personality traits rooted in childhood that transform their psychology, behavior, and worldview as adults.
Lesson Three — Understanding Backstory, Origin Story, and Misbeliefs
A character’s past is the soil from which their entire arc grows. This lesson guides writers through the deeper architecture of backstory — not as exposition, but as the emotional blueprint of the story.
Lesson Four — Writing Starting and Ending Points
A powerful character arc requires a clear beginning and a meaningful transformation. In this final lesson, writers finish with a strong opening point, a resonant ending point, and a roadmap for the emotional journey in between.
