First Friday — Scott Evans — On Dialogue

“Dialogue That Advances Character & Plot”

 

Friday, August 4, 2017,  9:00 a.m. – 11 a.m.

with

Scott Evans

University Writing Teacher, Conference Director

Author of Short Stories and Mysteries

Good, crisp, clean dialogue allows a story or novel to flow smoothly and keep readers engaged. This workshop provides advice on ways to make your dialogue relevant to your plot and interesting to readers, while also fleshing out characterization. Tips on techniques to hide the mechanics of clear attributions and the conventions of dialogue will also be discussed, as well as some practice editing and revising dialogue.

Scott Evans has taught writing for over 25 years. The author of three “literary” murder mysteries titled Tragic Flaws, First Folio, and Sylvia’s Secret, as well as a collection of Hemingwayesque short stories, Green Seasons, and a coming-of-age novel, The Complex, Evans is also the Editor and Publisher of the Blue Moon Literary & Art Review. His newest novel, The Caribbean Prisoner, published by Clayborne Press, is available via Amazon. Please visit www.scottevansauthor.com to learn more.


The California Writers Club–Sacramento Branch Networking Meeting is held the first Friday of every month at Coco’s Restaurant, 7887 Madison Avenue, Citrus Heights, at the corner of Madison and Sunrise,  starting at 9 a.m.. Meetings are free. Attendees pay for their own breakfast.
