The writer has many tools in the toolkit to help craft a connection between characters that truly comes to life. Whether your characters are in love or about to battle each other to the finish, crafting believable, engaging, and effective chemistry on the page can be a challenge for writers of all genres. Jeanne De Vita will explain the various techniques an author can employ to infuse a scene with page-turning action, laugh-out-loud banter, and swoon-worthy chemistry.
