Presentation: Hero's Personality Ladder given by Laurie Schnebly
Track your hero's arc through the seven core steps he'll need to climb during his journey from a Mr. NOT YET RIGHT to a character who's fully earned his victory in the end. Of course, the heroine has her own ladder to climb, often in parallel stages - until the finale, when they reach their ultimate triumph. (There's even a ladder for the villain, although he rarely makes it to the top!)
Laurie Schnebly (also known as Laurie Schnebly Campbell) draws on her background as a counseling therapist and romance writer to provide workshops for writers. During weekdays, she writes and produces videos, brochures, and commercials (some of which feature her voice) for a Phoenix advertising agency. After hours, she writes romances.
Her romance books include: And Father Makes Three, Unexpected Family, Good Morning, Stranger, Home at Last, Romancing The Holidays, His Brother’s Baby, Wrong Twin-Right Man. She also published Believable Characters: Creating With Enneagrams.
Online or in person, Laurie’s workshops attract people who appreciate her humorous, “every-minute-full” style of teaching, as well as her comprehensive handouts.
