To write great fiction, you need to know how to write dialogue that shines.

You know the benefits strong dialogue can bring to a storyâ€”a faster pace, greater believability, increased tension, and even humor.

But you might not know how to achieve it.

In Dialogue: A Busy Writerâ€™s Guide, writing instructor and fiction editor Marcy Kennedy brings her years of experience into showing you how to write dialogue that grabs readers and keeps them turning pages.

Inside youâ€™ll discoverâ€¦
â€¢ how to format your dialogue to keep it clear and easy to follow,
â€¢ tricks to avoid the dreaded As-You-Know-Bob Syndrome,
â€¢ how to use dialogue to manage your pace, increase tension, and bring your characters to life,
â€¢ the secrets to dealing with dialogue challenges such as dialect, starting a chapter with dialogue, and using contractions in historical fiction and fantasy, and
â€¢ much more.

Each book in the Busy Writerâ€™s Guides series is intended to give you enough theory so that you can understand why things work and why they donâ€™t, but also enough examples to see how that theory looks in practice. In addition, they provide tips and exercises to help you take it to the pages of your own story with an editor's-eye view.
