Our Topic: Giving Your Characters Their Say: How to Write Great Dialogue
Dialogue is one of a writer’s best tools for telling a dynamic story and bringing characters to life—and crafting good dialogue is one of fiction writing’s biggest challenges. This workshop provides tips, tricks, and techniques for:
- Giving your characters voices that are distinctive, realistic, and individual.
- Presenting the dialogue effectively on the page.
- Using dialogue to help make your story sparkle.
