Featuring author Molly Glass, the workshop will focus on the transformation of real speech into artful dialogue. In fiction, dialogue characterizes the speaker. The workshop will address questions of when and where dialogue is best used, as well as discuss regional dialects, tag lines, and the nuts and bolts of punctuation and paragraphing. Both morning and afternoon sessions will include writing exercises. This event is free and open to the public.
Space is limited.
