A lot of good tips here for creating characters. Some of the details of creating a character seemed a tad too much, but overall I found this helpful and inciting. A well planned character, one you know so many details about, will be convincing and realistic.
A short but great read. Lots of helpful tips for authors.

I didn't really benefit from this book in a huge way (I think I'm perfected my character development to a certain extent), though some of the advice about giving your characters goals and such was really useful. :)

This was a very helpful, short read on how to make more interesting characters. I look forward to using some of the information from this book in future.

I found some interesting reading I would like to do to understand even more of K.M.'s views. There are a lot of good points in this publication and I will refer to this book again.

Just to ‘parody’ the title of Kate’s useful ebook on character development with the hope that she does not angered with it.
A 50 page pdf very good to be immediately printed for the sake of easier reading and unknown word translation.

This was very useful for me. It's a basic discussion on character creation, but it gives you a really good platform to create for the character. It's given me ideas for my own novel's opening an introducing my main characters. It discusses how to describe your characters, both their physical appearance and showing how they behave, or what drives them to do what they do. It even discusses how to name them (I learned that names can do a lot more than I first thought!). There's even a rather in-dep...more

This little book really covered all aspects of a character any writer can think of. I like the fact that KMW writes about seemingly little things and she can go on and on and what she says is still relevant. I completely agree with her on the importance of finding out who you write about, know her as you know yourself, name him/her properly and let things happen.
I liked the description of some classic characters at the end, however they were too short for me. A longer, more detailed explanation...more

As I read this book, I found there are some tools that I was already aware of, however its nice to have a guide on hand. For when you start to doubt your own characters if they are any good or find yourself stumped. Really good book to have before you start writing so you know who your characters are.
The short booklet contains a lot of useful information, and is an entertaining read at the same time. It seems more interesting than the publication on story structure, and it also includes writing exercises, hence more stars than for the other free e-book by the author, '5 Secrets of Story Structure.'
This was a great short book that really got me thinking about my characters and how to craft them. I wish it was longer but the Author does have many longer works that I'll most likely delve into as well.

K.M. Wieland continues to be short and sweet with her amazing advice on writing tips. While the book is short and a very fast read, it has much to say and I highly recommend it for especially new writers.
A very quick read. Not a ton of substance, as I found it largely to be examples, quotes, and writing prompts, but still definitely a worth while read. It gave me a few good thoughts to improve a current character I'm struggling to make more memorable. Overall, I enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this book very much. I found it to be very helpful in my writing.

A tasty satisfying read for the aspiring writer looking to deepen their characters. A definite reread.

Great tips and I really enjoyed the tone. It wasn't over my head, it wasn't talking down to me, it was very clear and on a level I felt comfortable with.
Although it was short I took my time reading this one. It was exactly the information and inspiration I was looking for to liven up my characters.
Characters are (one) of my weak spots. This book has been pushing me in good ways to ask the hard questions, knuckle down, and get to work. :D
The most valuable part of this book is the description of character interviews. She also gives a detailed list of questions/items to include in defining or getting to know your characters. I've always done detailed character development in my writing but she goes far beyond what I've done in the past. Some authors argue that so much detail isn't needed and it might not be for their writing. I'm of the opinion that most of these details will never be included in the text of the novel but the more...more

Solid information, getting the characters right can be an ongoing process as you write. However figuring out as much as you can from the onset will help you write faster, so it's a good idea to put in your due diligence on the matter and try to figure things out. Sometimes that's difficult, sometimes it's not, the most challenging characters tend to be the ones we like the idea of but don't personally relate with, so it's hard to really get in their heads and more research is probably necessary...more

So, why did I give this book only four stars and not five stars as I had with the other K.M. Weiland book I just read. Well, it wasn't because the information here was flawed, or that the information wasn't well presented. No, it was more because I didn't have that 'aha!' moment like I did in the other book. This was more of a slow creep that will take time to present itself, to try out some of the suggestions, and, hopefully have the point driven in. I do recommend this book for aspiring writer...more

Crafting Unforgettable Characters may only be 61 pages, but I got a lot of great tips out of it. I really wasn’t expecting to get as much out of it as I did.
Here are a few sections in particular that I loved:
• Utilizing Character in the Beginning
• Naming Characters
• Describing Characters
• What Dickens Can Teach Us About Complex Characters
• The All-Important Link Between Theme and Character

Crafting Unforgettable Characters by K. M. Weiland is a free e-book that I'm glad I read. It reminded me what a good character is made of during a much needed time in writing the rough draft of my novel. It describes itself as 'an introduction to bringing your characters to life.' That said, it's short. So don't expect Weiland to go into major detail.
