Our special guest for this episode is Khaiah Thompson from Perth, Western Australia.
Khaiah is the author of the Welcome to Blackwood (Young Adult, Paranormal Fiction) series. The first book in the series, titled Welcome to Blackwood, won the Hawkeye Publishing Manuscript Development Prize in 2020. Khaiah was a finalist in the Qld Writers Centre ADAPTABLE competition. Book 2 in her series Leaving Blackwood has been released with book 3, Redeeming Blackwood currently in production.
Khaiah runs workshops about the importance of conflict in driving the plot of a story. The workshops explore character development of the protagonist (hero/anti-hero) and antagonist (villain/anti-villain) and the progressive change in writing/reading trends from your typical hero vs villain story, to different shades of morally grey.
In part 1 we deep dive into what makes compelling anti-heroes and anti-villains and the morally grey that will keep your readers guessing.
