One of the most important skills for a writer to have is the ability to craft clear and strong voices in their manuscript. Sounding inauthentic or unrealistic can be the difference between a pass or an offer of representation. In this class, we’ll target common mishaps and approach creating strong narratives on three levels: dialogue, prose, and characters.

As a result of attending this session, attendees will gain valuable tips and expert advice on writing realistic and engaging dialogue that is both informative and essential.

You’ll leave the class with the tools to self-edit your characters in order to render more believable and captivating voices.

This class is open to all genres. If you can't make it live, you can get a ticket now and watch the replay.
