Character Archetypes Series Part 2: Female Archetypes

Discover real, universal characters that readers respond to time and time again.

One common refrain heard from editors and agents is the lack of fresh, three-dimensional female characters. Enter the need to understand and exploit archetypical figures. Not clichés, but fully realized characters with strengths and challenges to explore.

Learn:

• In-depth analysis of the 8 most common female archetypes
• What each archetype fears and why that matters for creating stronger characters
• Response of each archetype to a threat or problem
• The shadow side of the archetypes
• Examples of each archetype in books, movies, TV shows and more
