Great Dialogue Can Mean the Difference Between a Bestseller and a Bomb!

Sharpen your storytelling by learning How to Craft Killer Dialogue. Ever wonder what techniques Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino use to master the dialogue for their slick and highly quotable crime stories? Want to create the heart-warming introspection often found in the minds of characters like the ones in books by Judy Blume? Or maybe, you prefer to plumb the depths of layered subtext as powerfully displayed in the works of artists like Toni Morrison?

With this comprehensive guide, you will find all those answers and master these techniques:

  • Enhancing characterization through vivid dialogue
  • Employing dialogue to create tension and advance the plot
  • Representing accents and dialects effectively
  • Incorporating aspects of the setting into dialogue
  • Utilizing dialogue to establish tone and build subtext
  • Developing a unique style and cadence for each party in a dialogue exchange
  • Recognizing the difference between direct (external) and indirect (internal) dialogue
  • and so much more!

Whether you’re writing short fiction, long fiction, creative non-fiction, or something in between, How to Craft Killer Dialogue is your go-to guide for creating, revising, and perfecting conversations that your readers will quote for years to come.
