According to James Scott Bell, dialogue is the fastest way to improve any manuscript.
You may know the fundamentals of how to write fiction. You may be more than competent in plot, structure and characters. But if your dialogue is dull it will drag the whole story down. On the other hand, if your dialogue is crisp and full of tension it immediately grabs the reader. And if that reader is an agent or editor, sharp dialogue will create instant assurance that you know what you’re doing as a writer.
The good news is, the secrets of dialogue craft are easy to understand and put into practice. In this webinar you’ll learn:
- The 8 essentials of dazzling dialogue
- What fictional dialogue is … and isn’t
- 12 tips to make your dialogue shine
With these tools at your disposal you will never write a line of boring dialogue again.
