Dialogue
Writing good dialogue can be hard. It’s extremely important to keep readers immersed in your story and sometimes, unbelievable dialogue can pull them out of it. Ensure readers continue turning those pages by mastering this essential skill and start having fun with the way your characters talk to each other.
This workshop will be held at the Morrab Library, Penzance, TR18 4DA
Saturday 12th July 10am-12:15pm
In this workshop, whether a seasoned writer or complete beginner, you’ll learn how to write more believable dialogue – dialogue that serves a purpose in your story by exploring:
-
-
What makes believable dialogue
-
How characters in conflict converse
-
How to inject subtext into your dialogue
-
How dialogue can inform character
-

You’ll write lots on this workshop and read anything aloud that you’d like to (no pressure if you’d rather not). Should you wish, you’ll receive positive, constructive feedback on your writing and will leave with a better understanding of how important good dialogue is and how to write it.
