Write Souls, Not Stereotypes Looks to Scripture as the Ultimate Guide to Character Development
Write Souls, Not Stereotypes
by Jordan Foster
Great characters are more than traits, quirks, appearances, and backstories.
They have hearts.
They believe something. They want something. They carry wounds, wrestle with fears, make choices, and change.
Write Souls, Not Stereotypes invites writers to build characters from the inside out—exploring the beliefs, desires, fears, and needs, that prompt the character decisions that make characters feel real and propel plot forward. Through the wisdom of Scripture and the craft of storytelling, this workbook offers thoughtful questions and practical exercises to help you move beyond surface-level characterization and create people readers can understand, remember, and care about.
Because the goal isn't simply to make your characters more interesting.
It's to make them so real that readers see themselves in them, care what happens to them, and can't stop turning the page.
The workbook includes 8 lessons, guided scripture reading examples, writing activities, and 22 pages of printable worksheets that help keep character development fun and manageable.
Grow your fiction craft while delighting in character development and deepening your appreciation of biblical characters!
