How to Fix Unlikable Characters:

Excerpt:

Particularly when writing YA and we are trying to make our MC’s angst ridden but feisty, it’s too easy to create a character nobody likes or cares about.

9 Traits of Sympathetic Characters

Having a likable character does not mean the character has to be a good person. Take Humbert Humbert from Lolita, for example. He is charming and engages the reader, but he is not the sort of person one would like to be around. Many people love villains, but do not identify with them or agree with them.

“‘There’s always that joke that there’s a Starbucks on every corner,’ says Justin Grimes, a statistician with the Institute of Museum and Library Services in Washington. ‘But when you really think about it, there’s a public library wherever you go, whether it’s in New York City or some place in rural Montana. Very few communities are not touched by a public library.’

In fact, libraries serve 96.4 percent of the U.S. population, a reach any fast-food franchise can only dream of.”

There are more public libraries (about 17,000) in America than there are McDonalds (about 14,000) or Starbucks (about 11,000).

When not all the books in the series are the same height.

When books change covers with editions so they don’t all match unless you buy the series in one go.

When some books are hardcover and some are softcover and it doesn’t match but you can’t find another copy.

When some covers are different in certain countries so you don’t get the main one which also happens to look better than all the other varieties.

Basically just books.

God damn them.
