Talk the Talk: Focus on Dialogue
Dialogue seems as though it should be easy—we all talk! But written dialogue has precision and heft that reverberate beyond the sounds of simple, everyday conversation. Good dialogue serves several purposes: It reveals character, moves the story forward and supports your setting. Find out how to accomplish this in your own fiction and memoir.
Cost: $4 for members of The Writer's Center and residents of Leesburg; $6 for the general public.
