We at Writing Excuses are continuing February’s focus on characters in this week’s new episode, Who Are All These People?, where we explore some of the challenges involved in building a cast for your story. You need to know why you are putting your characters in your book and what the purpose each of them actually serves in your story.

The Rithmatist has been given the honor of placement on the 2016 Master List for the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Book Award in Illinois.

Tor.com is continuing their reread posts for Words of Radiance. Last week Alice Arneson had a large quantity of family feels at the Davar estate. This week, in Chapter 28, Carl Engle-Laird deals with boots, ships, beautiful conwomen, men on horseback and torn bodices! Wait, no, not that. He also goes on a small rant involving the International Phonetic Alphabet.

My assistant Adam has updated the Twitter post archive for February.
