Dialogue: Breathing Life into Writing

By Luccia Rogers PhD

This course manual is intended to help writers build their confidence in writing dialogue that "rings true." By this, we mean that the words spoken by characters sound the way actual people speak, that the dialogue helps move the story forward, sets the pace, sets or changes the tone of the story, and is a natural, integral part of a work of fiction. We assume the reader is already writing or is ready to start writing fiction. The course is heavily weighted toward learning by doing. The best advice established writers give to aspiring writers is always a version of, write, write, write. This course takes that advice and organizes your writing efforts to help you focus your attention on various parts of writing lively, informative, exciting, and life-like dialogue.
