Mastering Character Arcs: Transform Your Sci-Fi & Fantasy Writing

Want to write characters that leap off the page and stay with your readers long after “The End”? In this episode of Writing Fiction with L.S. Franco, we’re diving deep into character arcs — the emotional backbone of great storytelling, especially in fantasy and science fiction.

You'll learn:

  • What a character arc really is (with clear examples)

  • The 3 main types: positive, negative, and flat arcs

  • Why arcs create emotional investment and thematic depth

  • How to structure a powerful internal journey from flaw to transformation

  • The difference between plot arcs and character arcs — and how to align them

  • Advanced techniques for ensemble casts, nonlinear arcs, and epic series-long transformation
