About this listen
Want to create characters your readers will never forget? In this episode of The Christian Writers Podcast, we’re exploring how to use quirks—those unique habits, traits, or talents—to write emotionally resonant, relatable characters for your novel.
Quirks aren’t just fun—they reveal backstory, trauma, and hidden strengths. Whether you're writing middle grade, YA, or clean Christian fiction for adults, this episode will show you how to build depth into your protagonist from page one.
You’ll learn:
- What a character quirk really is (and what it’s not)
- How to use quirks as coping mechanisms or key character traits
- Why emotionally wounded characters are more relatable to readers
- How to write clean, trauma-informed fiction with heart and hope
