Writing Workshop

Writing Dialogue and Nailing Character Interiority

The best stories are driven by both what characters say and what they keep to themselves. In this workshop, writers Sarah Wilson Gregory and J.M. Clark will help you sharpen your dialogue and deepen your character’s inner world.

Like normal, we’ll begin with a writing prompt, then explore how to write conversations that feel authentic and purposeful, while also capturing the emotional undercurrents and unspoken truths that shape your characters. Learn how to balance external action with internal thought, revealing motivation, tension, and growth through both voice and silence.

Whether your characters whisper, shout, or say nothing at all, this session will give you the tools to make their voices and minds come alive on the page. All experience levels are welcome.
