What we say and how we say it reveals a lot about our characters. The most memorable, engaging characters all have one thing in common – a unique voice that stands out from the crowd. Think of the most amazing lines from literature and popular culture. They helped to etch the character into our hearts and minds forever.

In this episode we explore the use of dialogue as a tool to characterize indirectly. We look at how dialogue characterizes and how to use it effectively in your own writing. Then, we sift through literature to find dialogue gems that exemplify the technique.

Key knowledge you will acquire in this episode:

  • How dialogue characterizes
  • How to use dialogue in our stories
  • Examples from literature
