What Should You Include In Character Profiles? | Ep. 216 | The Merry Writer Podcast

EPISODE SHOW NOTES

Regardless of whether you're a planner or pantser, do you keep track of your characters? Do you create character profiles? They're fun to make, but time consuming and it can be difficult to decide what info to include in them. This week, we discuss what to add to character profiles for you (and your readers) to know.

In this episode, we cover:

• Which characters may or may not need a profiles
• Benefits of creating character profiles
• Features of a profile (basics, personality, history/background, hobbies, etc.)
• A reminder about including genre-specific info

As always, thanks for listening, and let us know your thoughts on this topic in the comments below.
