Getting rejection letters? Sales not so great?

Maybe it’s the way your characters are speaking to each other that needs work!

Dialogue is notorious for being one of the hardest elements of fiction to do well. You don’t want to fill a story with ultra-realistic dialogue, but you don’t want everyone to sound the same, either.

What’s a writer to do?

Welcome to How To Write Awesome Dialogue!

This course will guide you through critical but often neglected aspects of designing a great plot for your story (no matter the genre or medium). From that foundation, you’ll move through the basics of what makes dialogue between two characters really stand out, taught to you by an award-winning published author with more than two decades of live stage experience, where the spoken word is so essential.

The course includes methods of improving both first- and third-person narrative, how to manipulate the white space on the page, and more. You’ll quickly find your own dialogue improving and increasing your opportunities to land an agent.

Dialogue isn’t to be feared — it’s to be embraced as the tool that it is to skyrocket the quality of your writing. Jump in now, and let’s start talking!
