SWRT 297 | Dialogue

from Story Works Round Table | Conversations About Craft Hosted by Alida Winternheimer

This week on the Story Works Round Table, Alida and Kathryn talk dialogue. We've noticed what may be some poor advice and some frightening trends in dialogue floating around out there. Time to bust some myths and pop some speech balloons! We draw on the past two Writers Book Club short stories for examples of dialogue, interiority, and narrative point of view. There is a lot of craft to unpack in this week's episode, a bit of silliness, and a writing prompt, too! "Dialogue is an art form all in and of itself. So be aware of what you're putting on the page." "Dialogue should reveal something to the reader." Are you ready to get more out of your writing, grow your writing skills, and get that novel done faster? Do you want community, feedback, and mentoring? Check out group coaching for novelists.
