So as a wannabe author, I’m always on the lookout for books to help with my writing journey. How NOT to write female characters is definitely one of those books.
The focus of the book is looking at clichés surrounding female characters from kiss ass hottie to adding a female just for the sake of it.
Even though I am female, I still found this book extremely helpful and Lucy V Hay really uses her years of writing expertise to create this informative read. It’s a quick, straight to the point read, written in a no nonsense style which took me less than an hour to read.
I feel like a lot of the advice can be used not just for female characters, but to create any fully rounded character in general, so it’s definitely worth a read.
How NOT to write female character is a quick read, written in a clear and straight to the point style that I’d recommend to anyone who has an interest in writing.

Another incredibly helpful guide to writing characters well, skipping the fine line between writing what you want and not being a dick about it.
Thanks Lucy.
