Writing Workshop with Niki Gjoni: "Say That Again?"

Nothing can ruin a good story faster than bad dialogue. Whether too saccharine, too dramatic, or too flat...dialogue that doesn't feel believable can undermine the characters' intents and do a disservice to the story at large. In this workshop, we're going to look at some examples of strong dialogue from published works and discuss why we think they work well. Then we'll use character descriptions to develop our own characters and scenes of dialogue between them. For those who want to participate, expect to swap drafts and critique each other's work.
