# October Workshop with Martha Engber: Flaming Great Dialogue!

## Create Unforgettable Characters Through Dynamite Exchanges!

You think you’ve got fantastic, unique, bestselling characters? You’ll have to prove that to readers, not only through what your characters do, but also by what they say and how they say it. In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• How to sidestep common dialogue pitfalls, such as characters who sound too much alike
• How to employ five dialogue techniques that will allow your unique, dynamic characters to speak for themselves.
