On this page, I have gathered resources and services that may be of value to fellow screenwriters.

character descriptions

I'm always interested to know how pro writers describe their characters. I provide links here to pages I've created that only contain character names and their descriptions from well-known films or TV shows.

HELPFUL QUOTES

  • ​"Challenge yourself to do something different. Because what really sticks out at the end of the day... is also something innovative, that we haven't seen before, something that challenges us." (Adam Levine, Verve Agency)

  • "Characters are complex... Give them a want, drive,  fear, and a secret. They will soon have a life of their own." (Greta Gerwig)

  • "Don't write it right, just write it -- and then make it right later." (Stephen King) 

  • "Don't write what you think people want to read. Find your voice and write about what's in your heart." (Quentin Tarantino)

HELPFUL WEBSITES

  • A Google spreadsheet that will grow as I add websites of interest to help you on your journey.
