David Corbett - The Art of Character

Former private investigator and New York Times Notable Author David Corbett offers a unique and indispensable toolkit for creating characters that come vividly to life on the page and linger in memory. Destined to become the one desktop reference every writer requires on the craft of characterization, The Art of Character: Creating Memorablw Characters for Fiction, Film and TV ($17.00) renders all other books of its kind obsolete. Using a wealth of details, from fiction, film and TV, Corbett delves deeply and thoughtfully into the human heart of characterization, showing beginning and advanced writers how to plumb the rich source materials of their own lives and the world around them to fashion credible, compelling characters. From politics to punctuality, appetite to zeal, secrets to contradictions, Corbett doesn't miss a beat. 

David Corbett is the author of four novels: The Devil’s Redhead, Done for a Dime (a New York Times Notable Book), Blood of Paradise (nominated for numerous awards, including the Edgar), and Do They Know I’m Running? David’s short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including Mission and Tenth, The Smoking Poet, San Francisco Noir and Best American Mystery Stories (2009 and 2011). He has taught both online and in classroom settings through the UCLA Extension's Writers' Program, Book Passage, LitReactor, 826 Valencia, The Grotto in San Francisco, and at numerous writing conferences across the US. He lives in Vallejo, CA.
