Some stories make us laugh. Some make us cry. The best ones do both. We remember books and characters because they made us feel something.
The key to a rich novel is interiority. Readers have to connect with your characters and their feelings. Whether you're writing a deep love story or a dystopian hellscape, the reader should connect emotionally with your characters. That means exploring their fears, joys, and regrets, and the ways in which characters react to the events of the plot. Touching on inner narrative, direct thoughts, and emotional arcs, we’ll uncover how to build emotional depth without melodrama and how to leave readers feeling something real.
