Ep 61 - Writing Engaging Pets and Animal Sidekicks with Amber Royer

Romancing the Story: Writing Romance, Storytelling, and Book Structure

"I think the key is either treat the character (animal) as a sounding board...or you treat this as another character on the same level as a human character."
Writing instructor and multi-genre author, Amber Royer, incorporates all types of animals in her writing - from an octopus to a cockatoo. She directs us in how writing sidekick animals and pets typically follow the "save the cat" rule. Plus, how an animal can provide development and impact in a story - including her own cozy mystery Bean to Bar Series.
