Workshop

Say What?: Dialogue in Fiction

With: 
M. Christine Benner

It’s not just what you say but how you say it. When characters open their mouths and speak, they are telling us about themselves and how they see the world. And sometimes they lie. Dialogue can make or break a story. This four-hour online skill-building workshop will delve into the pitfalls and opportunities of writing dialogue in fiction. You'll leave with new tools for capturing the voices of your characters on the page. Sign up for this hands-on workshop to stretch your skills as a writer and sharpen the dialogue in your fiction.
