Write Engaging, Natural Dialogue

By: Rob Bignell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One of the most important tools in your writing kit is dialogue. It can help develop your characters, move the plot forward, increase tension, and establish a scene’s mood.

Unfortunately, sometimes novice writers write dull dialogue. Like a flat tire that slows your vehicle to a near stop, so dull dialogue can quickly bring your story to a near halt.

Write Engaging, Natural Dialogue is all about helping beginning writers better understand how to pen conversations between characters. If you’ve already written a story and know the dialogue is weak, the tips in this book can help you diagnose and fix the problem.

The irony of a text about good dialogue being delivered in a stilted text to speech voice.

There's. lot of useful information here but it's hard to pay attention to without a human reading it. There are also a number of places where visual differences in sentence structure are discussed that are utterly lost in audio. Still worth a listen, but the presentation doesn't make it easy.
