I will develop your fictional characters and story arcs
About this Gig
Is your character interesting on paper, but not yet driving the story?
I will help you develop or refine fictional characters so their goals, choices, relationships and emotional arcs connect clearly to the wider plot.
My character development may cover:
Motivation, fear, flaws and contradictions
Voice, behaviour and decision-making
Relationships and sources of conflict
Character change across the story
Setups, turning points and emotional payoffs
How individual arcs intersect with the main plot
What you'll receive:
A clear written report showing what is working, where the character or arc feels weak, and practical ways to strengthen it. Standard and Premium packages also include comments within your submitted material.
Please note:
This is developmental character and story guidance, not proofreading, line editing or full prose ghost-writing.
You may send character notes, a synopsis, outline or manuscript extract as a Word document or readable PDF. Please contact me before ordering if you have a large cast, multiple timelines or more characters than the package includes.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
FAQ
What is the difference between this and your Story Repair service?
Story Repair focuses on plot logic, structure, continuity and broken story mechanics. This service concentrates on characters, relationships, motivation, emotional arcs, setup and payoff.
Can you develop a character from an early idea?
Yes. You can submit a premise, character concept, outline or notes. Please include the character’s intended role, genre and any elements that must remain unchanged.
How many characters are included?
The Basic package covers one main character, Standard covers up to two key characters, and Premium covers up to four. Please contact me for a custom offer if your project has a larger cast.
Will you write scenes or chapters for me?
No. This Gig provides developmental analysis and planning rather than full prose ghost-writing. I may include brief examples where they help explain a recommendation.
Can you help with relationships between characters?
Yes. I can examine conflict, chemistry, trust, betrayal, emotional dependency, shifting loyalties and how relationships influence each character’s arc.
What does a revision include?
A revision covers clarification or adjustment of the report based on the original brief. It does not include analysing newly rewritten chapters or replacing the central character concept after delivery.
Will my material remain confidential?
Yes. Your characters, manuscript and story information will remain private and will only be used to complete your order.
