Jeff Silberman, literary agent, discusses the importance of developing strong characters in order to make your book successful. He advises writers to give characters traits that make the reader care immediately about the person. You also want to add dimensionality and complexity to your characters that engages the reader on another level. Add something to your characters that raises a question in the reader's mind, such as an area to be overcome or something that must be resolved. By giving your characters these qualities, you can create compelling characters that make your story come alive for the reader. </div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-67/JeffSilbermanCharacterTraitsthatCompelNEW.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../JeffSilbermanCharacterTraitsthatCompelNEW.mp4</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
