Dialogue is one of three narrative tools to move the plot along and reveal character (in addition to description and action). Each character must speak with a unique voice-an amalgam of style, tone, intonation, and word choices. (And it must be formatted and punctuated properly.) You'll learn what you need to write dialogue that rings with truth.
Jane K. Cleland writes both fiction and nonfiction, including the multiple award-winning Josie Prescott Antiques Mysteries [St. Martin's & Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine] and the Agatha-award winning bestsellers, Mastering Suspense, Structure & Plot and Mastering Plot Twists [Writer's Digest Books]. Jane Austen's Lost Letters is the 14th in her series. She is a member of the full-time faculty at Lehman College, part of the City University of New York, a contributing editor for Writer's Digest Magazine, and the chair of the Wolfe Pack's Black Orchid Novella Award (BONA) in partnership with Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. She is a frequent workshop leader and guest author at writing conferences, association meetings, and MFA Residencies. Also, Jane offers free monthly virtual workshops on the craft and business of writing, and Mystery Masterminds, a series of small group virtual workshops.
