Free Writing Template | Character Bio

Since not everyone uses Scrivener, I thought I’d make the text available to the masses by blogging the template here. This is a text version of the character sketch/bio worksheet, the result of crawling the internet and tweaking different versions. This one has everything. Note: You don’t have to fill out each line for each character. It’s a guide, make it work for you!  Enjoy! Now write something amazing!

Include a picture (perhaps of a friend, model, or picture from the internet) so that you can be consistent with your character’s descriptions.
