Are you struggling to make the dialogue work in your writing and find the right words that ring true to your story, develop your characters, and propel the action forward?
Crafting authentic, effective dialogue is one of the most indispensable skills for a writer to develop, but even established authors can have trouble getting it right. Register for this one-hour workshop with award-winning author, editor, and creative writing tutor Maame Blue, who will introduce you to the key elements you need to consider to sharpen your dialogue: context, character motivation, and emotion.

There will be time for questions.
Whether you’re working on a character-driven literary fiction, a series of short stories, or even a romantasy saga, in this session you will learn how to fine-tune your skills and master the dialogue in your manuscript.
No problem! Everyone booked in to this event will be emailed a link and passcode to access the recording afterwards. This recording will be available to view for 10 days after the live session. This also means that if you wish to revisit the session after attending it live to take further notes, you can do so!
After 10 days, the link will expire and the recording will no longer be available to view.
