Speaking Volumes: 7 Tips for Crafting Compelling Dialogue

+ Add to calendar

22 April 2026

Want to learn how to craft dialogue that works on the page and keeps readers reading? Then this is the workshop for you.

In fiction, every word of dialogue needs to pull its weight. Strong dialogue works to advance the action, reveal character, build tension, or all of these things.

Join Marcia van Zeller for a workshop on the craft of writing dialogue that will bring life and intrigue to your novel or short story. Marcia has taught professional and creative writing subjects at Curtin University for 13 years and is the author of Be a Good Girl, Valerie (Ventura Press, 2025).
