The wait is over...

Owing to a surfeit of writing and editing work (not to mention my web hosts deciding to upgrade their blog causing me endless layout issues ??), the second article in my series CREATING BETTER FEMALE CHARACTERS is finally available.

This one focuses on the clichés seen in film and television when it comes to the portrayal of women and yet again I have my trusted Fab 50 - fifty actresses and other female industry professionals - to help me reveal how we as writers can avoid these hackneyed tropes and enhance the representation of women on our screens.

I hope you enjoy. And if you do, please feel free to share on social media and spread the word on this important subject.

Thanks.
