How to write dialogue
Manage episode 418147564 series 2623038
If you've ever transcribed a conversation between two people, you know the resulting text is a bunch of incomprehensible, run-on sentences and fragments. Natural conversation does not translate well onto the written page.
When we write novels, we need to realize that good, written dialogue does not imitate the way real people talk. We also don't want our written dialogue to sound contrived and awkward.
How do you write good dialogue?
In this episode, Angela Hunt teaches us
- How to handle dialects or accents
- How to use dialogue to reveal character
- How to imply what's being said without saying it
Listen in or check out the blog post to find out how to write good dialogue that keeps readers turning pages and learn what dialogue mistakes to avoid.
