Parts 1 & 2: Dialing Up Your Dialogue

Dialogue is a Writer’s Swiss Army Knife

One of the sneakiest ways to make your story brilliant is through your characters’ conversations, which often take up more than half of your story. Dialogue can compress backstory, intensify action, raise the stakes, reveal motivations, and LOADS more. This master class takes a deep dive into character communication and how to use what’s spoken (and left unsaid) to say everything.

In this module, we will:

• Define the main ways characters communicate in fiction
• Analyze how dialogue and internalization  reveal character and advance the plot
• Explore how subtext can be used to add depth and complexity to your writing
• Examine common dialogue, internalization, and subtext problems and discuss how to fix them
• Use all three to develop unique character voice
