Dialogue is more than people talking on the page. It is where power shifts, truths slip out sideways, and what cannot be said becomes as important as what is spoken. In this one-hour Craft Deep Dive, we’ll explore dialogue not as a set of rigid rules but as a living part of the creative process. We’ll look at why dialogue matters—both philosophically and practically—and how it can create tension, reveal character, and carry emotional weight in a piece of writing.
