8 Writing Classes in Chicago in 2024 | Reedsy (2024)

This one-session course will take you through a rigorous but playful back-to-the-basics study of dialogue in fiction. We’ll review seven basic forms of dialogue, practice “dialogue on a slant,” and consider the distinct phases of a sequence of dialogue within a larger passage.

In this interactive session, we’ll go over how to see your manuscript with fresh eyes, get to the heart of what’s not working, and come up with strategies to fix it. This workshop is for anyone struggling with a messy draft or looking to revive an abandoned project.

Through playful thought experiments/writing exercises you’ll explore tools you already have (and others that will come in handy) to discover the essential story you want to tell, the themes that animate it (and you), and how to bring it all to propulsive life.
