I Would Never Say That?: Getting Real Dialogue Out of Your Characters
Do you dread writing dialogue? Do you want to enjoy it but feel it falls flat on the page? Do you love it in the moment, then worry it isn’t serving the story when you reread it? In this intensive, we’ll troubleshoot a variety of problems that come with writing dialogue by studying how it works on the page, dissecting when and why it sounds contrived, and creating strategies to keep it feeling fresh and believable.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
