Conversation as Conflict: Writing Gripping Dialog
Conversation can carry story, convey character, raise tension or set a tone. Learn how to write dialog that moves, that climaxes, that draws readers in. We'll cover character voice, dialect, and thinking of the right thing to say twenty minutes later. I'll offer my own tips and tricks for spicing up dialog to capture reader interest.
