THIS IS A QUESTION I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING MORE AND MORE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. As a reader and a writer, I view names (including pronunciation and spelling) as an important element of characterization. As I've published more books and created new characters with unique names, I've realized the importance of clarifying the pronunciation of a character's name.
So, for today's chapter, I have compiled a list of pronunciations for all of my characters' names. This includes both main and side characters that are active in my stories.
Of course, some names will sound different when you pronounce them with your own accent. I've written these names out with how they are pronounced according to their culture. (This is also how I personally pronounce my characters' names.) For example, the Hispanic/Latin names will be written out as if you are pronouncing them with a Hispanic/Latin accent. I hate whitewashing my characters' names and try my best not to.
