6. DIALOGUE
Manage episode 436208868 series 3585972
In the sixth episode of How to Write a Book, Elizabeth Day’s new podclass series, hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew discuss crafting excellent dialogue.
This week’s dialogue between these three experts covers the best exchanges they’ve come across; how to make dialogue work - from setting the subtext on fire, to distinguishing between characters through the words they utter; and the interplay between internal and external dialogue. One of the hardest things to master, dialogue can often fall flat - and part of the secret to making it come alive lies in getting to know your characters. Nelle, Sara and Sharmaine show you how. And, at the end, Elizabeth pops into the studio to offer her own final reflections.
Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing.
We hope you enjoy our fourth episode. Stay tuned for the next week’s chat on… PLOT.

• The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins
• The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margeret Atwood
• Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert
