“Absolutely brilliant! Every module is packed with valuable insights. I devoured the whole course and will definitely be revisiting it. As a beginner, I found it incredibly helpful—an absolute must‑have!”

This mini course takes a thoughtful, grounded approach to character creation, focusing on the psychological foundations that make characters believable rather than on rigid templates or checklists. It encourages writers to think in terms of contradiction, fear, motivation, and emotional consistency instead of surface traits or backstory alone. Its emphasis on emotional truth over spectacle is particularly effective, reminding writers that ordinary characters can be deeply compelling when written with honesty and care. Clear, reflective, and quietly challenging, this course is an excellent resource for writers who want their characters to feel human, layered, and real. A genuinely valuable mini course from Proofreading Malta Academy. Thanks to Elizabeth Cortis, such a great mentor.

I enjoyed this course. It gave me new tools to create characters who feel alive rather than just well-described. The focus on psychology, backstory, and emotional consistency was especially helpful. Overall it was engaging, clear, and valuable. Thank you!
