Synopsis

There is far more to creating a compelling work of fiction than just telling a good yarn. Whatever genre you write in, you absolutely must be able to write great dialogue. From purpose to punctuation, from how to avoid preaching and idiot lectures to conveying culture, from creating individual character voices to replacing dialogue tags with action beats, "All You Need To Know About Writing Brilliant Dialogue" covers it all.
