In this week’s episode of Fully Booked, we explore the art of crafting unforgettable characters with award-winning author, playwright, and clinical psychologist Patricia Black-Gould. Drawing on her rich background in theater and psychology, Patricia shares how deep character work and improvisational techniques from the stage can empower writers to create emotionally resonant, distinctive personalities on the page. From building psychological backstories to infusing dialogue with nuance, she discusses strategies to help writers workshop even minor characters into memorable figures.
The conversation also touches on essential storytelling elements like pacing, dialogue, and scene construction, all of which support a strong cast of characters. From background roles to the story’s lead, Patricia’s advice can be applied across your manuscript. More dynamic characterization not only elevates your narrative but creates lasting impact, helping to build a loyal readership that comes back for every book.
