When creating compelling characters in fiction, it’s vital to know their strengths, weaknesses, and internal struggles. The Enneagram is a personality theory that describes nine different personality types and the unique motivations, core desires, and fears of each. When writers assign an Enneagram type for each character, they can save hours of planning time while also adding emotional depth and believability to their story. In this workshop, the nine personality types will be described in easy-to-understand terms, with guidance on how to mix and match different Enneagram types to create interesting story conflict and dynamics.

Sara Holifield writes paranormal fantasy romance under the pen name Avalon Griffin. She is the author of the novel Unbound by Shadows, and the short story, The Vampire’s Library, which was published in Once Upon a Book Club’s 2024 Book-Club-Mas anthology. When not writing, she can be found traveling the globe in search of kitschy roadside attractions, off-beat museums, and cryptozoology legends. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and a crew of formerly feral cats.
