Cops and Writers

"COPS and WRITERS" is a method used to develop strong, authentic characters in storytelling. "COPS" stands for Physical characteristics, Occupation, Personality traits, and Social background—details that define what a character is like. "WRITERS" emphasizes Craft, Relationships, Interests, Motivations, Experiences, and Settings—factors that influence a character's behavior and development. Together, this approach helps writers create well-rounded characters by considering their appearance, background, personality, and inner drives, ensuring consistency and depth within the story.
