Feel like your character introductions are missing something?
You know your characters are the heart of your story.
But too often, their introductions get reduced to a name, an age, and an outfit. Something like:
“BOB (40) enters. He’s handsome in blue jeans and a sweatshirt.”
or
“MEGAN (16) saunters in. She’s a natural beauty in a faded t-shirt and gym shorts.”
The problem? Readers walk away with no sense of who these characters are. They feel forgettable, generic, and disconnected from the story.
And if your reader isn’t hooked at the moment of introduction, they won’t stay invested for the journey that follows.
When done well, character intros don’t just describe appearances — they orient the reader, spark emotional connection, and set your story in motion.
This 50-minute on-demand workshop shows you how.

What you’ll learn
Inside Magnetic Character Intros, you’ll get a practical, repeatable method for crafting introductions that instantly pull readers in and make them care.
You’ll learn how to:
Avoid the common mistakes that make intros fall flat
Use the two essential components of every strong intro:
Character Description — a vivid snapshot that shows both what they look like and who they are
Character Entrance — a moment that reveals values, priorities, and tension in action
Guide your reader’s attention to the characters who truly matter
Signal your character’s arc from the very first scene (without being on the nose)
Create emotional investment right away — even for difficult or flawed characters
You’ll also see real screenplay examples — from Promising Young Woman, Erin Brockovich, School of Rock, and more — that show exactly how memorable intros work on the page.
Give me one focused hour, and you’ll walk away with the tools to write intros that hook readers, spark emotion, and make your story feel alive from page one.

✅ 50-minute workshop replay (watch instantly)
✅ Curated selections from the live Q&A (video)
✅ Workshop slides (PDF for quick reference)
✅ Screenplay examples, so you can see character introductions in context and on the page
What Writers Are Saying
“As a disciple of name+age+outfit character descriptions, this session completely changed how I think about characters.”
— Jeff A.
“Thanks so much for this great lesson. I'm glad you pointed out that a bit of unfilmables are allowed, even enhancing character intros. I've now started collecting character intros from famous screenplays and based on your lesson am going back over my 6 screenplays and jazzing up my character intros.”
— Lynn V.
“I'm taking everything I learned in this workshop to give my main and supporting characters the introduction they deserve. I'm looking forward to your next workshop.”
— Christina W.

No. Great character intros are small moments with big impact. This session gives you the tools to make those moments read like they came from a pro-level screenplay.
