Improving your dialogue is the quickest and easiest way to take your writing to the next level. In this fiction seminar, we’ll examine techniques for crafting effective and compelling dialogue. We’ll examine the purpose of dialogue; using conflict and tension in speech; the use of subtext and action beats; and strategies for using internal monologue in dialogue scenes. We’ll analyze scenes from Tommy Orange, Walter Mosley, and Stephen Adly Guirgis, among others, and conclude with a writing exercise, followed by a discussion.
