Thinking about self publishing and don't know where to start? Join the SPA Girls each week for interviews that will inform, educate and delight.
This week we have another special episode from the 2018 Smarter Artist Summit, where Trudi Jaye sat down with the first male Deputy SPA Girl Michael Anderle, and marketing guru and storyteller Michelle Spiva.
Michelle talks about how to amp up your connection with your readers via your characters, so that you're writing stories they can't put down. She covers everything from using narrative arc, pacing, and other storytelling techniques, to understanding how to choose the right emotional tone for your characters and the story.
Michelle is a very smart author who manages to balance an analytical and creative mindset, and this is a fascinating interview that gives some unusual insights into creating stories with characters who deliver depth and emotional impact.
