The Art of Villainy with Jennifer Brody

The saying goes, “A story is only as strong as the antagonist.” Conflict is what makes a story compelling, and antagonists represent one important layer of conflict in any story. In this craft talk, learn how to craft memorable villains that will elevate your story from an author known for tackling the biggest villains in IP, from Maleficent to Darth Vader, with writing tips for building strong antagonists that will haunt a reader’s imagination long after they put your book down.

Jennifer Brody (Vera Strage) is the author of the DISNEY CHILLS series, THE 13TH CONTINUUM trilogy, and SPECTRE DEEP 6, which was a Bram Stoker Award Finalist prompting Forbes to call her “a star in the graphic novel world.” She is the co-author of ALL IS FOUND: A FROZEN ANTHOLOGY and STAR WARS: STORIES OF JEDI AND SITH, where she penned the Darth Vader story. Her forthcoming short fiction will appear in “Weird Tales” and other anthologies, while her new space romantasy A SACRIFICE OF BLOOD & STARS debuts in Fall 2024. She lives and writes in Joshua Tree, California.
