Bill Johnson, president of Willamette Writers, is the author of A Story is a Promise and The Spirit of Storytelling. This fourth edition of his popular workbook offers new, unique tools for creating vibrant story characters and recognizing some of the main flawed character types in novels: characters who are emotionally numb, stuck, or too wounded to act.

If you've ever been told your minor characters are more interesting than your main character, Bill's presentation will give you the tools you need to transform your writing.
