level, a foundational theory of character creation is yet to follow. As a result,
creative writing students and beginner writers refer to post-construction analysis,
as well as the step-by-step advice often suggested by popular writing manuals. Aiming
to fill this gap and at the same time reconcile approaches in writing and criticism,
this book proposes a theory of character creation based on the in-depth analysis of
the concept, as well its place within the narrative. The approach suggested herein
consists of two interrelated stages: conceptualisation and exposition. Conceptualisation
entails the in-depth understanding of what constitutes the fictional character, as
well as the dynamics of its correlation with the reader, the author and its real counterpart,
the human person; Exposition refers to the conveyance of such understanding on paper.
Viewing creative writing as an art and craft, the author builds her theory on the
notion that comprehension of the world and the concept of character itself is an essential
prerequisite in order to construct consistent and believable fictional persons. Varotsi
also introduces her four stages of creation: Observation, Perception, Empathy and
Imagination to inspire a method of work according to which personal craftsmanship
and artistry can be successfully combined with pedagogic technique"--Publisher's website
