Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting Dynamic Characters and Effective Viewpoints (Write Great Fiction)
by Nancy Kress


This book is very similar to the author’s Dynamic Characters: How to Create Personalities That Keep Readers Captivated - some of the text is word for word.

This books covers more topics and has writing exercises at the end of each chapter. The book is written with very specific and helpful advice about the craft of writing and contains many examples from published works.

Ms. Kress is very adept at discussing the general rules of writing as well as discussing when and how those rules can and should be broken. She is very good at describing the consequences of writing decisions and explaining why some choices lead to an entirely different story.

I highly recommend this text to anyone who is a beginning writer or a writer looking for ways to improve their craft. You probably don’t need to buy both this text and Dynamic Characters: How to Create Personalities That Keep Readers Captivated, however both are available on Kindle Unlimited. If you have that it is worth reading all of her writing guilds.
