How to Write Good Dialogue

Dialogue is what your characters say.

Instead of:

Amara was angry and told Daniel that he should leave.

Try:

“Leave!” Amara shouted. “You knew about this and you didn’t tell me?”

Dialogue makes a story feel alive.

Remember:

People don’t always speak perfectly.

They ask questions.

They interrupt.

They laugh.

They become angry.

They whisper.

They hesitate.

Use dialogue to show personality and emotion.
