Crafting Good Characters, Especially Those Who Aren't Like You

Most authors see at least a bit of themselves in their main characters making it easier to craft realistic fully dimensional characters, but what about other supporting characters that you don't relate to?

With some simple steps, every author can craft and write realistic characters that are real, relateable, and authentic characters without relying on stereotypes or cliches.

Plot may be the storyline of your book, but its the characters that bring the plot to life.
