#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2025.10.11 — Have you ever written an unlikable protagonist?
I learned this lesson the hard way. Buying editors won't tolerate an initially unlikable protagonist, no matter how wonderful their transformative arc, or the ending—unless you have a brand name or a fan following, or at least a recently profitable track record. I'm needing to rewrite a trilogy and a standalone novel for penance for my hubris.
