Episode notes

In this episode of the podcast, I welcome sociologist and fantasy book lover Dr Enn Burke to the Toolshed to teach us how sociological factors can help shape our characters.

It's the ideal episode to learn more about how to create fictional characters that almost feel as alive as real people.

Sociology plays a huge part in how we're made up. It relates to everything ranging from our childhood, like how we were raised and the friends we chose to hang around with, all the way to whether or not we're religious, and what job we do.

If you're a writer, you're bound to learn something new to help you create your fictional characters.

You can also find the latest calls for submissions, an update on my lists of fantasy publishers, and our community announcements.
