Creating a Character Arc. Secrets of Screenwriting: Unity of Structure, Plot, and Hero

Writer Katie Marie (K. M.) Weyland is known not only for her popular novels but also for her guides on literary craftsmanship. A laureate of prestigious awards, she has a keen sense of text dynamics and knows how to make the reader empathize with the characters and follow the development of the plot.
She dedicated her new book to the theme of developing character arcs. Why a character arc? Because if your hero does not change, develop, or learn anything throughout the story, but stays in one place, he or she is not interesting to anyone. Conversely, the ability to build a character arc is a key skill for any author of a literary work, whether it is prose or a screenplay for film and television.
By reading this book, you will learn what distinguishes a positive arc from a negative and flat one, whether it is possible to have several arcs in your work or not have any at all. The popular presentation, authorial style, and analysis of well-known films ensure the book reaches the widest audience.
For writers of literary prose, authors of screenplays for film and television, students of literary and screenwriting schools and universities.
