Summary
There is one sure-fire way of improving your novel fast...
You may know the fundamentals of how to write fiction. You may be more than competent in plot, structure and characters. But if your dialogue is dull it will drag the whole story down.
On the other hand, if your dialogue is crisp and full of tension it immediately grabs the reader. And if that reader is an agent or editor, sharp dialogue will give them instant assurance that you know what you're doing as a writer.
Writing a best seller or hot screenplay is no easy task, but dazzling dialogue is an absolute essential if you want to get there. The best part is, the skills of the dialogue craft are easy to understand and put into practice.
Number one best-selling writing coach James Scott Bell has put together and expanded upon the dialogue lectures from his popular writing seminars. In How to Write Dazzling Dialogue you'll learn:
- What fictional dialogue is...and isn't
- The 11 secrets of crafting memorable dialogue
- The 5 essential tasks of dialogue
- 5 ways to improve your dialogue ear
- 4 can't-miss methods to increase conflict and tension in any dialogue exchange
- The top 10 dialogue issues, and how to resolve them
You'll also see dazzling dialogue in action with examples from hit novels and screenplays.
Don't sabotage your chances of selling your work to readers or publishers because the dialogue is unexceptional. Dazzle them with what the characters say. How to Write Dazzling Dialogue will give you the tools to do it.

Great for practical advice when you’re in a rut
I’m almost done with my manuscript but needed to improve the dialogue and this is a great, concise, practical listen filled with tips and consideration for working out why your dialogue isn’t singing.

Entertaining AND useful!
Lots of really helpful ideas, presented in a light-hearted and entertaining way that stops it from being purely informative (it's genuinely not boring!) I particularly liked the spontaneous dialogue exercises and his 'cast' of characters! I will definitely be drawing upon these tips and hints in my writing. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a handle on this topic. My only real critcism is that there wasn't more of it! 9/10

I have learned a lot
Not only a writer can benefit from listening to this book. Any voice artist should hear it out and learn from how to read the dialogue

This was a terrible piece of work, both written and voiced. Reached chapter 3 out of 7 and had to stop.

Seems to be for writing a book in the 20s
Most of the example are outdated with very few examples to do with modern dialogue
