Writing Dialogue that Works, Workshop Led by Tiffany Quay Tyson
2022-10-11 14:00 - 16:00 | Pat Conroy Literary Center, 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902, US
Dialogue can be a powerful tool for characterization, motivation, plot advancement, and emotion, or it can be a clunky thing that bogs down the action and takes the reader out of the story. How can you be sure your dialogue elevates rather than deflates? We’ll look at examples of effective dialogue, discuss what makes these examples work, and use what we learn to practice writing dialogue on our own. In the process, we’ll explore subtext, rhythm, pacing, attribution, and more. Students should come prepared to write.
This workshop will take place on Zoom Tuesday, October 11, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Limited to 20 participants. $45/person. Register at https://patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com
