How to Write Better Dialogue (While Becoming a Better Person)

from 5AM StoryTalk · host Cole Haddon

Today we’re going to be discussing three game-changing lessons you can learn from interviewing others - both to enrich your writing and your life. This skill, which I developed as a freelance arts journalist for Village Voice Media amongst others, has directly impacted my screenwriting and fiction writing over the years. But it's also helped bring me closer to loved ones I was struggling to understand better.SUBSCRIBE TO THE '5AM STORYTALK NEWSLETTER'⁠⁠https://colehaddon.substack.com/⁠⁠You'll gain access to both the 5AM StoryTalk newsletter and all episodes of this podcast – including exclusive bonus episodes in which my guests discuss seminal pieces of art from their lives.
