Description: In this workshop we will be exploring dialogue and how to give it an authentic and natural flow when writing! We will compare examples dialogue and why they might be considered "good" or "bad". Before wrapping up, we will write our own examples of dialogue and receive feedback from the group. I encourage people to bring their writing, if they have some, to share and get feedback on!

By the end of this workshop, participants will learn how to write dialogue that sounds real and compelling. You’ll analyze examples of strong and weak dialogue, explore what makes conversations on the page feel authentic, and practice writing your own scenes. By the end, you’ll leave with sharper dialogue skills, fresh feedback from peers, and new confidence in your characters’ voices.
