Thank you for joining us today! We hope you enjoy this First Draft Friday Episode(FDF 20) with best-selling author and CEO of Authors AI, Alessandra Torre in a discussion with author Cindy Skaggs.

Side characters are often written without development, created for a specific purpose, and then discarded without a second thought. On this most recent First Draft Friday, author Cindy Skaggs explored why side characters desire proper attention, and how they can improve your story.

Side characters can be instrumental in giving your book depth, opening up your fictional world, and can be a great place for additional plotlines and main character development to occur.

You'll listen as she answers audience questions, and get actionable tips on how to make the best use of these characters.
