You'll Love This OnDemand Webinar If:

  • Your story's dialogue needs improvement
  • You are a published or aspiring nonfiction or fiction writer
  • You have received consistent feedback indicating your dialogue is weak
  • You need help understanding how to format and punctuate dialogue

Great authors use dialogue to reveal the hearts and minds of their characters, to create conflict and humor, to fuel action, and to rivet readers' attention. They know that readers typically form their first impression of a story from its dialogue , more so than from plot or action. And they work to bring the utmost realism to the words their characters speak and think. How do they do it?

This intensive webinar, written and presented by instructor and award-winning novelist Elizabeth Sims, will give you the same tools the pros use to craft terrific dialogue. She'll start by unlocking the great paradox of dialogue: Authors must write dialogue that comes across as real and believable, yet why does actual speech usually sound so dumb when transcribed onto the page? She'll cover the basics of good dialogue, then move into the nuts and bolts of generating ideas for dialogue, how to use characters' words,instead of narrative,to bring them to life and how to stay out of trouble when writing tricky passages.

It takes skill to craft a story with believable dialogue. Whether you're looking to learn the basics of writing dialogue from styles of grammar and punctuation to techniques for writing internal dialogue for your characters' private thoughts, you'll get the best strategies and tools for writing. You'll also explore common problems aspiring writers have when writing dialogue, such as how to break up long passages of dialogue with action or write complex conversations between multiple characters. Plus, if you're a science fiction writer, you'll get tips on dialogue for characters who speak a foreign language or have an accent.

By the end of this webinar, you'll have a solid grasp of how to write dialogue that engages your readers and elevates your writing.

Breath taking novel
Format: Kindle
I am not a fan of both fiction and non-fiction novels, my English is pretty bad as well. yet, here I am, and I'm planning on reading more in the future only because of this book. It's heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. Not saying the book is beautiful or any like that, but you will find yourself in a painful place when you read this. A painful feeling which makes you feel like you got stabbed in the heart but all the air in your lung is stuck out, no voice screams out and you can’t do anything with it.

Strong story, Weak book spine
Format: Paperback
The book itself was wonderful. Otherwise the physical structure of the book is weak and the pages began to fall off the spine reading halfway into the book. Recommend the book, and recommend another physical copy of the book.

The inner view of hopeless romantic heartbreak.
Format: Paperback
The stories could be depressing but somehow, they rise above. It's the beautiful soulful clear intelligent writing, I guess. These stories will ring true for any reader that has lost their favorite significant other. The middle story is especially amazing to me. It consists of the running inner dialogue of a woman on the edge. Nearly mad she rambles in the cleverest of ways. Ms. De Beauvoir is [was] a marvelous philosopher, writer, woman.

Truthful view, not philosophical
Format: Paperback
Love Simone, but a bit disappointed about this book. I thought it was gonna be about strong women overcoming bad relationships, but it is actually just a portrait of those bad relationships and the despair of women living it. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention before buying, as the tittle of the book is clearly "Woman destroyed", but I longed for a least some good philosophical debate in part of the characters; I didn't really got anything in that sense from any of the stories. In fact the first and third one have a similar theme, which made things kinda boring. Still struggling to finish the last 50 pages.
