Sparks, Secrets, and Subtext

Dialogue is more than what characters say. It’s about what they reveal, what they hide, and what they want. During this workshop, we’ll learn how to use dialogue to build romantic tension, create mystery, and reveal character. We’ll also explore techniques for creating distinctive voices, balancing dialogue with action, and making every conversation intentional and effective in the fictional genres of romance, mystery, and suspense.
