Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Stereotypes exist for a reason. Usually, because there's an element of truth to them. With The Writer's Guide to Character Traits, psychologist and professor Linda Edelstein has created a basic guide for Writers. Her goal? "To create a friendly reference" for writers who want "to create believable characters and need accurate information about personality and behaviour." Sure, disparage it if you like. But wouldn't you like to know which of your protagonist's offspring is most predisposed to warming up to their new stepfather? What kind of criminal is likely to have a religious mother? The traits of people who commit suicide? Edelstein has included over 400 lists: of traits associated with child development, psychological disorders, criminal styles, sexual styles, love and marriage, life-changing events, physical problems, career, and the like. "Even when a writer's imagination soars to places more fascinating than reality," says Edelstein, "characters must possess an internal cohesiveness: they must make sense." And let's face it: "People," she adds, "are more consistent than not." (The book includes real-life character anecdotes from Edelstein's own work and a huge character-trait cross-referencing index at the end.) --Jane Steinberg

Stereotypes exist for a reason; usually, because there's an element of truth to them. With The Writer's Guide to Character Traits, psychologist-professor Linda Edelstein has created a kind of Psych 101 for Writers. Her goal is a "friendly reference" for writers who want "to create believable characters and need accurate information about personality and behavior." Sure, disparage it if you like. But wouldn't you like to know which of your protagonist's offspring is most predisposed to warming up to their new stepfather? What kind of criminal is likely to have a religious mother? The traits of people who commit suicide? Edelstein has included more than 400 lists: of traits associated with child development, psychological disorders, criminal styles, sexual styles, love and marriage, life-changing events, physical problems, career, and so on. "Even when a writer's imagination soars to places more fascinating than reality," says Edelstein, "characters must possess an internal cohesiveness; they must make sense." And let's face it: "People," she adds, "are more consistent than not." (With real-life character anecdotes from Edelstein's own work and a huge character-trait cross-referencing index at book's end.) --Jane Steinberg

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book, along with Nancy Kress's Dynamic Characters will help you build solid, original characters for your fiction. While Kress's book talks about character development, this book lists 100 personality types of all ages and how they effect each other. I read the book from cover to cover in one sitting, it was that fascinating. Think of all the characters you can drum up by using this book. I highly recommend both.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT! I'm a new writer and it gave me tons of information, quickly and simply. I've also enjoyed using it as a quick reference guide for different personalities among people I know as well as potiential characters. I highly reccomend it, for writers and those looking for some psychology written with the novice in mind.

I was pleasantly surprised by the enormous amount of valuable information that this ambitious text presented in an easily accessible and truly informational format. The examples given are clear and understandable and the information itself is invaluable. This book should be on a writer's shelf next to the Thesaurus and Dictionary. It will undoubtedly help writers to create more authentic characters and more realistic interactions between characters who encounter each other and a variety of scenarios as booksand stories unfold. I think it will be a great resource when authors are struggling with which type of character to introduce into their writings. Well done.

The First of its Kind!
I've been a writer for many years. This is the first book I've found, that provides easy and concise character information. Useful for an author as well as the lay person.
