Does your dialogue feel flat? Do all your characters sound a little too much alike? Bring it to the Dialogue Doctor. Join Jeff Elkins (author, editor, and host of the Dialogue Doctor Podcast) for a live craft session on dialogue. We're talking how to make every conversation pull its weight, how to build character voices readers can tell apart on the page, and how to turn a scene of people talking into a scene readers can't stop reading. Bring the dialogue scene that's been giving you trouble. Bring the character whose voice won't stick. Bring your questions.
