What We’ll Cover

The live session breakdown

The 7 Building Blocks Every Character Needs▾
What they want, what they fear, what they’re hiding, contradictions, voice, stakes, and arc. Without these, AI gives you cardboard cutouts. With them, AI builds characters readers feel.
Distinctive Character Voice▾
Learn how to give each character a unique voice readers can identify without dialogue tags. Where AI fails on dialogue voice and how to edit it human.
AI Builds 30%, You Edit 70%▾
Honest math: AI gives you the skeleton (about 30% of true depth). The other 70% is yours — the contradictions, voice tics, and emotional pressure points you layer in during edits. The prompt patterns and edit moves to make that workable.
Character Arcs That Satisfy▾
Design character arcs that feel earned and emotionally satisfying, keeping readers invested from first page to last.

Frequently Asked

Before you book, the quick stuff…

Does this work for all genres?▾
Yes. Strong character development is essential across all fiction genres — the techniques apply whether you write romance, thriller, fantasy, or literary fiction.
Are there recordings?▾
No. This is a live, attend-once experience. The value is in showing up, doing the work in real time, and getting live feedback from Coral and the group.

From the Live Workshop

In Coral’s Own Words

“The biggest mistake I see is people tell me about their characters instead of showing them. They show the environment, show the setting — and then they tell me about the character, and they fall flat immediately.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching

“To make a character real, there are seven or eight layers. At the end of today I’m going to show you how to do this whole exercise in under ten minutes.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching

Excerpted from a live teaching session inside Plotprose Academy.
