Crafting Dynamic Dialogue: The Complete Guide to Speaking, Conversing, Arguing, and Thinking in Fiction (Creative Writing Essentials)

Great for what I love to do!

This is one of the better 'how to write dialogue' books out there. Unlike some of the other books out there, that either reference literary fiction so old nobody under the age of 75 has ever heard of it, this book references a lot of contemporary examples that I've actually heard of. It shows a good and bad example of how to do the thing. Very helpful and useful to learn how to pick apart your own work and make it better.

This is a book about a topic that I wanted to read about. The contents were well-chosen and explored in more depth than I expected, but I experienced a lack of enthusiasm along the way, because a lot of information is repeated in the book. So, you will hear the same recommendations over and over again, and that can get a little tiresome.Yet, if you get a little bored reading this book I encourage you to push on, because it is definitely worth it. The lessons this book gives are given from different perspectives from different writers, and that’s ultimately what saved the book from a mediocre rating.As usual, there are gems of writing advice secreted away throughout the chapters, so remember to read everything carefully. Lots of delicious tidbits that don’t really have anything to do with dialogue, but I collected them all enthusiastically nonetheless.Overall I enjoyed this book, but it is a little repetitive to read.

Some of the info was repetitive, but overall a great resource of tips on dialogue for your fiction writing. Tons of exercises to get you going!

I bought this book because I already have two in the this series. I am loving it! It's written by many different authors so something will connect to your personally and help with your writing. The other two books I have were great as well. Anything by Writer's Digest is good.

Great book. Very helpful. I'm slowly working through the exercises, but guarantee this will be a keeper in my reference library.

A power house of info

This book is a wonderful resource---very thorough and inspiring for my writing! I received it very promptly!

Great insights. It could have been more coherent, like Landu’s Screenwriter’s Roadmap, but still ok.

it is like its name dynamic
