This class will take place via video-conferencing (Zoom), Pacific Time.
All Levels | A recent survey shows that dialogue makes up between 30 and 70 percent of an average novel. But dialogue is a deceptively tricky art to master. Students will learn how to write natural conversations that advance the plot and give us insight into their characters. We will conduct small group exercises and analyze dialogue in recent novels by Daniel Handler, Kevin Wilson, and Jennifer Egan. Students will then practice their skills by writing a short, dialogue-intensive scene.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Winter quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
