Lighthouse Love Fest: I Almost Love You—Writing Intimate Dialogue

  • Lighthouse Writers Workshop 3844 York Street Denver, CO, 80205 United States (map)

Whether you're writing about magnetic stranger-flirtation or a frayed marriage about to snap, dialogue is one of your most powerful tools for portraying any of the infinite incarnations of love. What's the difference between dialogue that shimmers and dialogue that drags your work into cliche or—egads!—melodrama? We’ll investigate dialogue techniques to deepen characterization, plot, context, perspective, and more, all while excavating your characters' most intimate relationships. This class will include examples, discussion, and plenty of in-class writing exercises.
