Do you know how to write good dialogue?

Nothing catches the eye of a manager, agent, actor, or any Hollywood script reader more than good dialogue.

Effective dialogue. Entertaining dialogue. Dialogue that leaps off the page.

Beginning Monday, September 24, I will be teaching Core V: Dialogue, a 1-week online screenwriting course that teaches you key principles and practices for writing strong dialogue that derives from the inner world of the character.

* Learn ways to dig into your characters to find their distinctive voices as well as time-proven tools to write dialogue that is realistic and compelling.

* Use what you have learned by workshopping one of your story’s primary characters, discovering the synergy between who they are and what they say.

Six lectures written by me. Special insider tips. Daily forum Q&As. A writing exercise to test out principles you learn on your own story’s dialogue. A 75-minute live teleconference between instructor and class members.

Plus I have corralled Max Millimeter to do another round of Log-A-Palooza, where you workshop loglines, then submit one to Max for his unique feedback.

Dialogue is critically important to the success of your screenplay. So go here and sign up now.

And for those of you who submitted a logline for The Quest back in May and who have yet to claim your free Core or Craft class, I will enroll the first 5 people who email me. If you would prefer to receive the lectures instead, let me know.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
