Sakura Publishing, 2026

Writing Wicked: The Rival Antagonists Who Mirror and Challenge the Hero A flat antagonist threatens the hero's plans. A great rival threatens the hero's identity. Most writers know the difference — but never fully close the gap. Writing Wicked Book Seven is a deep-dive craft guide to the rival antagonist: the opponent who shares the hero's origin, reflects their darkest potential, and refuses to let them rest in an easy self-image. You'll discover how to build rivalries with genuine history and personal stakes, how to write confrontations that escalate across a full story arc, how to navigate the rival's relationships with the wider cast, and how to resolve the dynamic — through defeat, alliance, death, or mutual recognition — in ways that honor everything the rivalry built. With genre-specific guidance across nine categories, a comprehensive rival checklist, and six diagnostic writing exercises, this is the resource for fiction writers who want to stop writing opponents and start writing rivals.
