5726. Says Who? Writing Memorable Dialogue
Writers know it's easy to fall into the trap of "he said" - "she said" - "it said" - "zeep said" in their dialogue. Like any kind of writing, dialogue can be plain, fancy, or just weird. The trick is to fit the type of dialogue to the furtherance and readability of the story. Our panelists will share their ideas on how to keep the talk-talk going so that it doesn't slow things down. Moderated by James C. Glass.
