Main Character Energy: Creating the Perfect Protagonist for Your Premise
A strong story concept is only the beginning. The right main character should be the person most tested and transformed by the plot — not simply someone interesting who happens to be caught in the middle of it.
In this workshop, Lee Weatherly explores how to create a protagonist whose wants, needs, flaws and beliefs connect directly to the central pressures of your story. We also look at how character and premise can work together to generate conflict, shape the emotional arc and drive the plot forward.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have developed or deepened a main character who feels uniquely suited to your story — and understand how choosing the right protagonist can unlock the story itself.
We also share a brief overview of our Finish Your Draft in a Year: Group Mentoring programme works and how it can help you get your novel across the line.
