Are you fed up of drowning in two-dimensional villains? Frustrated with creating clichés? And failing to get your reader to root for your villain?

In 13 Steps to Evil, you’ll discover:

  • How to develop a villain’s mindset
  • A step-by-step guide to creating your villain from the ground up
  • Why getting to the core of a villain’s personality is essential to make them credible

Villainous Oversights

The best deconstruction I've read on breaking down the villain archetype, Sacha goes very in depth on all facets of constructing believable bad guys and she also covers anti-heroes as well as clinical diagnostic guidelines for different types of mental illnesses.

Performance is entertaining and the section on mental illnesses is done with serious tone and genuine care.
