What makes your dialogue work? Often, it’s the simple things, such as punctuation, that prevent your reader from enjoying your work. Once you have the punctuation down, what else must you consider when writing dialogue?  This workshop will start with punctuation—which many people do incorrectly—and advance into using your dialogue to move the story along. Participants will learn the difference between a beat and a tag and when to use them as well as how to avoid boring dialogue.
