with Douglas Moser
Dialogue is so much more than people talking, more profound than everyday conversation. Effective dialogue can elevate your storytelling, adding detail, color, and humor to your text. In this 4-week intensive, we will be examining just how dialogue works, for fiction, non-fiction, film, and stage. We'll take an in-depth look at how dialogue is rooted in character and encompasses everything from psychology to physiology. In-class exercises will help you gain new insight into crafting dialogue that sings. For writers of all levels.
