P4 : A Breakthrough Characterisation Tool for Novelists

couple looking at laptopSee the blue panel to the left for details about 'P4', the unique Synergise product designed to help novelists create great characters ideally suited to their plot roles — by 'personality mapping'. We know there's nothing else like it because we designed it — and its intuitive graphical interface is our unique registered design.

Don't miss out on this fantastic tool for both established and aspiring novelists. Use it to pick the right character traits and gain an in-depth knowledge of your characters' psyche right from the start — or breath new life into existing 'flat' characters. You'll be amazed at this tool's effective simplicity. A special tutorial teaches you how to use it effectively. It guarantees to lead you to true-to-life characters because the character profiles are based upon real-life psychological personality types defined by the American Psychiatric Foundation.

"Fascinating and interesting. I'm sure P4 would be an extremly useful tool for novelists."

Wendy K Harris, Author of:
The Sorrow Of Sisters

Wendy K Harris


Helen Dunn Frame"The major value of P4 for me lies in defining or redefining characters in my books. It will enable them to change as they should from the beginning of a novel to the end. Like anything, the more one uses a tool, the easier it becomes. It didn't take long to be well on the way to fully utilizing P4.

"I will use P4 in a children's book I'm co-authoring that features the very poor Bribri Indian Tribe that lives in the southeast portion of Costa Rica and the northwest sector of Panama. As the main Bribri character moves into mainstream society, P4 will be most helpful in defining her, even if the characteristics would be less developed in her primitive society.

"I also see where P4 would be most useful for personal relationships, especially since the foreign community in Costa Rica, where I live, is so diversified. As I watch some of my favorite TV programs, I now mentally assess the characters' personalities based on P4!"

Helen Dunn Frame, Author of Greek Ghosts



"P4 is an exciting and innovative method of assessing personality types through a unique character mapping diagram. This excellent resource and tool can be used to understand the many and varied behaviour traits that make up our human race. In support, the Tutor provides a set of user-friendly, easy-to-follow tutorials with quick reference links that allow easy access between each lesson. This approach to character evaluation, sometimes using well-known, world stage figures as examples, is both enlightening and fun, leaving students eager to put P4 methods into practice.

"P4 can provide a quick and helpful technique for business managers to assess their work force, promote team building and bonding, or sort out personality difficulties within their work place. Novelists can equally use the programme to create believable characters, placing them in different situations and working out their reactions using P4 character mapping. For whatever reason P4, once studied, will remain permanently imprinted on the user’s mind as a useful and fascinating concept."

Maureen Wright, Chairperson, Wellrites Creative Writing Group, Welling, UK

( PLUS A GREAT BONUS: P4 can even help you in all your interpersonal relationships, at home and at workl!)

Synergise Promotes Books

Imagine seeing your book alongside bestsellers by authors such as Zadie Smith, Bill Bryson, Dean Koontz, Danielle Steel, Dan Brown, etc. Well, with Synergise, you don't have to imagine it: it can be a reality! We can put a good size image of your book cover with a long selling paragraph on our travel page bookshelves for less than GBP1 per week. Be SEEN on Synergise, not LOST on Amazon! There's an example of our bookshelf at the foot of this page. It also appears at the foot of all our much-visited travel pages. The aim is to invoke impulse sales - just like the Departure Lounge Bookshop in an airport. This is the online equivalent.

If you are a writer then you will be pleased to know we are very sympathetic to the writer's difficulties in getting their work published and their books promoted. If you are a publisher you will be interested to know about our cost-effective methods of promoting your lower-budget books on the Internet with guaranteed exposure for an entire year.

So whether you are an author or publisher, please take the time to check out what we have to offer you. We'd love to help market your books!


Guaranteed Economic Book Exposure on the Internet - for a year!

It is all very well to have your published book available via the world's largest online bookshop - Amazon - but will anyone ever find it there? Is your publisher giving your book all the exposure you had hoped? Will anyone go to your publisher's website in order to find a new book to read? If you hope to sell your book on the Internet by means of your own website, how many people will even find your site? Do you know how to get traffic to your site? These are just some of the the critical questions you need to ask yourself unless you are the lucky author of a bestseller or your publisher is working on a good marketing budget with your work. If not, our Departure Lounge Bookshop offers your work guaranteed exposure. the thing is we already get the visitors reading our travel pages, and almost every one of these pages contains a bookshelf to catch their eye and lead to spontaneous sales. An example of this is shown at the bottom of this page. Your book could appear amongst the random selection delivered to these pages. Even better, we guarantee it will always appear on the same shelf as at least one bestseller. (Isn't that where you always wanted to see it?) The familiar bestseller catches the reader's eye — and your book, with its sales pitch, is just alongside. Sales are only a click away. (Our visitors might just think your book is a bestseller as well!)

With our absolute maximum of 500 titles 'stocked', 3 promoted titles per page, and an average of 10 page-views per visitor, your book's worst chance of display to the average visitor is 6%. Usually there will be far fewer books than this, so if the current maximum is say 50 client books, then you stand a 60% chance of your title being seen during a person's visit to the site! And you get to control the 'sell paragraph' alongside the cover image.

Synergise offer economic book promotion to publishers - and heavily discounted rates to authors dealing with us direct. If you want to win a bit of extra promotion for your book at a sum that a publisher should find really cost-effective, then why not ask them to visit our publishers page and promote your book on our site? How can they refuse such economic rates for an annual promotion? If they do, of course, you can afford to take advantage of our low authors rates and promote it independently.

False Memory
Dean Koontz
It's a fear more paralyzing than falling. More terrifying than absolute darkness. More horrifying than anything you can imagine. It's the one fear you cannot escape, no matter where you hide. It's the fear of yourself. It's real. It can happen to you. And facing it can be deadly.

Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare
Stephen Greenblatt
A young man without wealth, connections, or university education moves to London. In a remarkably short time he becomes the greatest playwright not just of his age but of all time. He recklessly mingles vulgar clowning and philosophical subtlety. How is such an achievement to be explained?
