“I have a MA in Creative Writing, and I wish I had a course that went this in-depth on characterization! I originally started taking Barbara’s courses as “refreshers”, but I didn’t realize that I would be learning so much new material. So helpful, and it’s such a relief knowing I can go to Barbara’s videos for reliable, action-provoking content. Thanks for sparking my creativity, and for giving me helpful templates that make taking action easier!”

“This class is fantastic. I love how Barbara gave many reasons why they are the antagonist and different situations. Also, I found the examples extremely helpful. I’m a big fan in general of Barbara’s classes, but this one made it into one of the top three.”

“Great class. Barbara explains such a range of antagonising forces not just the most obvious ones. The information is well ordered so it’s inspiring not overwhelming. I find antagonists challenging but Barbara’s steps really help push writers in helpful directions… with concrete steps and a plethora of resources.”
