Will you be at the workshop next week? 3 days left to sign up, and we have another AMAZING editor on the line up. Lynnette Labelle who, by the way, edited my bestselling title, The Forever Girl. Shes the REAL DEAL and Im actually floored we were able to nail her to attend! Heres what shes got to offer: Ever wonder why readers have complained about your story’s pacing? While there are many possible causes for slow pacing, one can be easily identified and ... wait for it ... easily fixed. What am I talking about? Buried dialogue aka hidden dialogue. Learn what this is, how to recognize it in your manuscript, and how to correct it. I’ll cover all of this with plenty of samples, including some samples from a handful of students. You read that right. You can submit some of your work, and I’ll randomly select samples to critique. But I won’t stop there. Nope. I can’t just critique the buried dialogue. Whatever I critique will get the full treatment. If you have action/reaction or show, don’t tell issues, I’ll find them. If you have flat dialogue or if your characters seem one-dimensional, I’ll let you know. If there are bits of bad choreography or point of view slips, I’ll flag those, too. I mean it. Anything that isn’t working will be marked. Consider yourself warned. Come on over. Take a peek at The Secrets of Buried Dialogue and see if you’re guilty of burying your dialogue. Lynnette Labelle is a freelance editor with over thirteen years of experience, including working with bestselling authors like Rebecca Hamilton and Roni Loren. YOU DONT WANT TO MISS THIS!!!!
