Crafting Dialogue for Young Adult Characters
with Ginny Myers Sain
Nothing pulls a reader into your story faster than engaging, well-written dialogue. Authentic sounding voices and conversations have the ring of truth that immediately bring your characters to life on the page. This is especially true when you’re writing for young adults. Teens can spot bad dialogue a mile away, and nothing puts them off a book faster than young characters who sound all wrong. But how does an adult write believable teen dialogue? In this workshop, New York Times Bestselling Author, Ginny Myers Sain, will share tips and exercises for creating realistic teen characters who speak from the heart.

Hopefully you can join us for lunch afterwards at TooJay’s Deli to continue networking and connecting.
