Character Craft Intensive: The Wound & The Hinge

$50.00

Get professional, deep-dive feedback on your character development.

Are you worried your protagonist feels "flat"? Do you have a great plot but feel like your characters are just moving through the motions? The secret to a "round," unforgettable character lies in the relationship between their Wound and their Agency.

How it Works

When you purchase this intensive, you aren't just getting a proofread. You are getting a structural analysis of your character's soul. To get the most out of our time together, I invite you to prepare the Four Pillars of your character:

  • The Wound: The past trauma (Big T or little t) that shaped them.

  • The Lie: The false belief they hold about themselves because of that wound.

  • The Outlook: How that lie colors their view of the world and others.

  • The Hinge Moment: The point in your story where their Desire finally outpaces their Fear.

What You Get

  • In-Line Manuscript Feedback: Detailed comments on your 5-10 page exercise (up to 2,500 words) focusing on character voice, internal logic, and subtext.

  • Personalized Audio Summary: A 3-5 minute audio recording where I talk through my overall impressions, "aha!" moments, and specific suggestions for your character’s arc. It’s like having a private story meeting with an editor.

The Process

  1. Purchase: Secure your spot by adding this service to your cart.

  2. Personal Outreach: Within 24 hours of purchase, I will personally email you to introduce myself and provide a link to a private folder where you can upload your "Four Pillars" exercise.

  3. The Deep Dive: Once I receive your work, I’ll spend the next 3-5 business days immersing myself in your world.

  4. Delivery: You’ll receive an email with your marked-up manuscript and your custom audio file.
