Authors' Alcove: The Writing Corner

Writing Engaging Dialogue In Our Story with Developmental Editor Rob Bignell

17 Jan 2024

Description

My author interview with developmental editor Rob Bignell taught me so much about writing engaging dialogue during story telling. Rob is a long time editor and author, talks about how we can write tighter dialogue. He teaches us what to avoid, what to include, and what to watch out for. We discuss such things as avoiding filler dialogue and how it stops the story from moving forward. Moving our story forward is our main objective regardless of the scene. We also discuss how conversation in books should not exactly mirror real conversation, but should rather suggest real conversation. I, as always, deeply appreciated his knowledge of story telling.  You can visit his website: https://inventingrealityediting.com/home/?fbclid=IwAR2xVM6IcXTt6O8sdQLuTyV-hkBTK8LykIiWU0Wwf1ET0ePbNzbjiUddHxc Purchase his books here:  - Devise the Plot - https://amzn.to/47xz0hf - Write Engaging Dialogue - https://amzn.to/3O7IpoJ If you enjoyed this episode you might also enjoy our first interview on plot building. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4qvBenh9sYQl3haqw7uhMV?si=180dc47179b84881 If you are interested in being a guest on my podcast, you may fill out the form on my website: http://authorsalcove.com/be-a-guest You can also follow me on:   Facebook: http://facebook.com/authorsalcove Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorsalcovepodcast/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/agnes-wolfe-20bb47288/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2EQYPBl1LtZh08qCdIRHTy?si=aa56d7a9565a49fa YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVCbL470bDCgeg23kziYAg (affiliate links above)
