You Talkin' to Me?: How to Write Great Dialogue
by Linda Seger
There are many challenges and pitfalls to writing great dialogue. Many inexperienced writers create wooden dialogue, on-the-nose dialogue, awkward expositional dialogue, dialogue that cannot be easily spoken, or same-sounding dialogue that fails to differentiate characters. In this book, each chapter will look at a different issue, will analyze the issue, and give examples of great dialogue from films and novels. Also, we will use dialogue from adaptations so the book will be helpful to both novelists and screenwriters. Each chapter will end with examples of poor dialogue that will be annotated by Linda and then re-written by John. We will cover the many issues that confront writers when writing any kind of story, whether fiction or non-fiction.
