If you’re like most writers, you’ve probably taken a number of classes and read even more about writing snappy dialogue. That’s not this class. This class will focus on using dialogue to define your characters.

The most important thing to remember when you’re creating character is to make them unique. That’s what this class about. In He Said, She Said: Define Your Characters With Dialogue, you’ll learn not only what dialogue is and what it should do, but how to use backstory, how to use accents, foreign words and phrases, local slang. You’ll also discover how and when to use speech tags vs. action tags.

Included in the workshop is Your Dialogue Workbook. This useful tool has worksheets, checklists, and assignments that will aid you in creating sparkling dialogue for your characters.
Class Format
Savvy Authors' workshops are held on a forum: a bulletin board based system. You will receive a reminder notice one day prior to the start of the workshop that includes instructions on how to access the workshop forum. If you have not received instructions by the day the workshop begins, please check your spam filter.

The forum will be available the morning (EST) of the day the workshop starts and will remain accessible to all participants thereafter. You will also be given simple instructions on how to create a PDF of all your discussions along with our privacy and data retention policy.

Great information. Would be nice if a pdf of each lesson was included. I do like in-person/zoom type class better. I'm not good at checking the forum or responding there.
