Course Description

"I thoroughly enjoyed this exercise... it really helped me work out the kinks in a character I've been struggling with." - Workshop Participant.

"This course was fun. The group managed to produce some great work, and I couldn't help but have a go myself." - Workshop Facilitator.

This nano course documents the creative coaching consultation I had with Jonell Rowe — a professional writer, film director and founder of the award-winning production company, Lionstooth. Jonell’s aim for this consultation is to use the methods provided in the workbook to develop character arcs and profiles that are so convincing and concrete—to the point where they can acclimatise to any world he develops in his narrative.

Whether you're writing a screenplay, novel, blog series or case study, characters are the driving force behind your story. The resources in this nano course will assist you in the creation of well-formed, believable, engaging beings that will make your audience want to watch, listen or read your plot to the end and even be left gasping for a sequel!

Scribble Online

Hey friends!


I’m Nadia —writer, coach, PhD researcher, and social impact practitioner.

Through my platform, Scribble Ink, I’ve spent over a decade developing and delivering creative writing and creative enterprise programmes designed to support artists through every stage of their process; from shaping ideas to building sustainable pathways around their work. ?️


? Scribble Online brings that ecosystem directly to you.

It’s a curated learning space built from years of research, practice, and real-world delivery, offering cinematic lectures, interactive workbooks, and guided sessions that mirror the depth of live workshops and one-to-one consultations. Everything is designed to be flexible, so you can engage in your own time, from wherever you are.


? Who is this for?

This platform is for the practical learner; the one balancing work, life, and creativity, but still committed to their growth.

It’s for the writer tuning in on a packed commute, the creative huddled with their indie group or business circle, the friend bringing Scribble into a brunch conversation, or the early riser carving out a quiet, intentional start to their day.

Had some good info, but turned off with the selling of another place to spend money.

By Kathryn Gerard on 8/4/2019

It has brought out my thoughts about a character that I have thought of vaguely. The person is taking shape and life. Thank you!

By Nancy Simpson on 8/30/2018

So far it seems to be a good match for me. I have difficulty envisioning realistic characters.

By Rhyanne Reneé Gasper on 7/6/2017

This course is actually really fun and insightful! I've created a really interesting character and I can't wait to show her off at my creative writing class next week ;P

By Robin Enright on 3/8/2017

Moves a bit slow but very good

By David Delgadillo on 3/3/2017

Very good and concise course on character building! This is going to help me out a lot for my novel in the works, thanks!

By Jamilla Geter on 7/1/2016

.i like this first exercise completely immersing into the character is a great way to get a feel for who he or she is

By Karen Szatkowski on 10/25/2015

It really got my imagination going! I even though of & wrote out ten more questions that would be valuable if you are interested. I will be using them!

By Vicky B on 5/23/2015

This lesson helped me to develop my character ideas further for my writing and get the ball rolling! It is also useful for those wanting to write a monologue, poem, short scene, script etc.

By Carli H: All things teal and beautiful.. on 5/3/2015

I really enjoyed the writing exercise, and I thought the lecture advising on how you can use your work in other creative projects was a nice touch.
