How do we take our characters from two-dimensional archetypes to three-dimensional human beings? Violet Grey shares four steps to build a character profile so you know them so well you can write about them as if they’re real — because, in your head, they will be.

Writing erotic fiction is fun but it is a limited field. Some authors can and do make a living from their fiction alone but if you’re not one of them, don’t despair!
