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.

Helpful!

Definitely very helpful and I learned some things I was doing right and wrong. Highly would recxommend

Every writer should read this

Great book on how to fine tune your dialogue writing with excellent examples both screenplays, books and television show

Important info!!

This is a great book full of outstanding writing information. He has a depth of knowledge and he gives examples of how to write lines. He is fantastic.

HOWEVER, I pray he reads this…I would tell him he should not narrate this himself. He must have allergies or a cold but it was painful to listen to- between the gulping of nasal drip, high static background, and the fingers squeezing the nose voice, it nearly made me stop listening.

Please have a professional read your book! The information is phenomenal but it’s painful to listen due to the things I’ve listed.

Redo the audiobook for future listeners.
Sorry, but it’s true.

Format and examples were extremely helpful.

The outline format and examples were helpful for me. Bell provides great references for future projects.

Many dialog examples to consider

If your looking for dialog examples to use as a guide in your own writing, this is a book to review. Many of the examples mentioned I have not personally read, but staying attentive I was able to follow the examples and benefit from Mr. Bell's offerings. Nicely done was his suggestion, lif your goal is to end the story with a statement, offer the opposite of the statement in the opening of your book. I've heard it before, but this example just made it more clear.
