Character Remarkable Characters with Kris Kennedy

Wow! What a comprehensive class. The turning points helped me plot a new novel, and they also work well for screenplay act breaks. I'm hoping to write both, so this was extremely effective.

One of the best SA classes ever. Thank you for the priceless information, Kris.

Very informative class, highly recommend. Now I want to attend another workshop by Kris.

I've had a number of plotting courses but this speaker proved that there is always more to learn. The webinar was engaging and the examples used illustrated the points made. My understanding of midpoint has increased. The webinar resonated with me and will be helpful as I revise my manuscript.

This was incredibly helpful for me and very detailed, with great examples. I didn't realize that what I thought might be secondary or even third-stage inciting incident or turning point was actually my midpoint. I thought midpoints were supposed to be a lot more boring and on-a-long-journey than that, so now I feel like I have a clearer perspective on where I am and what needs to happen in my next scene. I appreciated the acknowledgement of character arc alternatives as well, since so many people just throw those out as bad writing even though people do them intentionally sometimes.

This webinar was excellent and chock full of plenty of useful tips to help get through the midpoint of any story. I highly recommend it if it is ever offered again.

Despite reading Save the Cat and other books on structure, I've never had such a helpful explanation of the midpoint. It crystallised what I need to do at the halfway point. I left the mini-intensive inspired and fired up with ideas for how to approach it in my current manuscript. Thank you Kris!

So much info! Kris is a great speaker and answered a lot of questions. Great webinar!

Lots of great insights. Kris Kennedy threw down gold. Lots of it. Many times, in throw away comments. Worth watching more than once.

I very much enjoyed this clear, conversational, and well-organized presentation.

I was pretty sure I had a good grasp on what a midpoint was, but Kris provided so valuable pro tips and what I consider a "midpoint checklist," that I now feel far more confident in how I will craft my midpoint to make it more powerful. I highly recommend Kris for her highly engaging presentations and her clear expertise. Thank you, Kris!

This is an AMAZING class!
Not only is Kris the most engaging, thoughtful and competent instructor imaginable, she also shifted my mindset regarding "backstory" by 180°, taught me to "see" that backstory IS story, and she provided tons of tools and exercises to get the job done.

I enjoyed every single sentence in this class and learned WAY more about writing than just the nuts and bolts of "backstory".

Fully and wholeheartedly recommended!

Kris' comments and suggestions have helped me enormously. I can't wait to use her interesting suggestions that make the story better than it is. She has broadened the character's background for the actions that happen in the book. Many, many thanks for these insights to my story.

Best backstory workshop I have ever done. Such detailed, nuanced insights and clear examples. It's the first time I feel properly guided w.r.t. backstory. Previously, I have only received vague guidelines that I did not know how to apply. This class has given me a lot more confidence in dealing with backstory successfully.

I'm excited with all of the information Kris shared. She organized in such a way that I'll also be using it as a reference for every book. And would I take another of her courses...definitely. Thank you, Kris. Sincerely, Susan

I'm an experienced published author but Kris helped me really add some oomph to my characters. Enjoyed this class very much!

Kris really knows her stuff! There is so much information in this class. I not only learned a lot for the book I'm working on, but I know this is goig to help me in the future.

This was a great class. Kris is very knowledgeable, answered questions thoroughly and promptly, and really broke down the material into understandable sections.

This is my second SavvyAuthors class, but definitely my favorite so far. Kris was detailed in the lecture lessons and the homework really made you think about your book. I really enjoyed it and would absolutely consider taking more courses with this instructor!

I was struggling plotting turning points but this course saved me. I was thinking mostly of plot, not emotional internal transformation. These lessons take you by the hand through the story arc and explains the plot points. Now, I'm going to ho back to my WIP and refocus my plotting which will strengthen the wip as I continue to write it.
I'm do glad I took this course. The instructor is excellent. There is ample time for questions with thorough and useful instructor answers. Thank you.
