Workshop Outline
Week 1: How to Write Dialogue – Here you’ll learn what dialogue can be used for in your story, and how to lay it out. You'll complete a short exercise to see how effective it can be at bringing your stories to life.
Week 2: Writing a Scene Using Dialogue – In this session, you’ll explore the subtext in dialogue and how to use it effectively to make your characters believable and have depth. Then it's over to you to write a short scene using dialogue. You'll have a chance to share your writing (if you want to) and receive constructive feedback.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
