Event Details

Great dialogue does more than sound natural—it reveals character, builds tension, and drives your story forward. In this class, you'll learn how to craft conversations that feel true to life while serving the deeper needs of your narrative. We’ll explore subtext, rhythm, conflict, and the subtle art of what’s not said.
