Workshop Description: In fiction, dialogue allows your readers to eavesdrop on your characters. When you're eavesdropping on someone, you never know what you're going to hear. In the same way, your readers never know what your characters are going to say. If your dialogue bores your readers, you'll lose them-every time. In dialogue, every word must count. Count for what? What is your dialogue accomplishing? In her workshop Dialogue: Everybody's Talking About It, author and editor Beth K. Vogt:
- reveals five things dialogue can accomplish
- shares two surefire ways to use your dialogue to your advantage
- lists the 10 ways to make sure your dialogue is "done right," so that it passes an editor's standards
- provides interactive time for you to create dialogue using writing prompts.
