Crafting Memorable Dialogue with Joni M. Fisher December 2 - December 29, 2013 SavvyAuthors Forums About the Workshop In many genres, dialogue makes up half of the novel. This hands-on course delivers the techniques to ramp up dialogue so each one matters. Discover when and when not to use dialogue, how to construct dialogue with depth of meaning through subtext, how to infuse various levels of conflict into every exchange between characters, how to create suspense through dialogue, how to design dynamic conversations that employ the less-is-more adage, how to apply the stimulus/response pattern correctly so readers can follow the action, and how to use dialogue tags, actions tags and thought tags to reveal character’s goals and motivations. Students also receive a cheat-sheet on solving common format and punctuation errors in dialogue. Each lesson includes an exercise in which both the student and instructor apply the day’s lesson to a scene of the student’s manuscript. ce.savvyauthors/index.cfm?fuseaction=Calendar.eventDetail&eventId=1794
