I'm Matthew Dewey, a writer passionate about helping others develop memorable characters. My journey began in primary school, fueled by a love of storytelling. From scribbling stories to writing articles on diverse topics like technology and programming, writing evolved from a hobby into a full-fledged calling when I wrote my first novel.
I noticed a gap in available writing advice – a lack of dedicated, thoughtful instruction and practical examples. I developed a simple, versatile toolkit based on my own experiences, starting with the crucial lesson: how not to create a main character. Then, I experimented and discovered the keys to building truly compelling protagonists.

- Effective Descriptions: Bring your character to life with vivid and memorable descriptions.

- Character Purpose: Define a clear purpose for your main character within your story.
Welcome to the How to Make A Better Main Character Course! I'll provide you with everything you need to create a protagonist that is interesting, believable, and worthy of being the story's driving force. Invest in your writing and learn to build characters that readers will connect with and remember.
