Dialogue Is Not<\/strong> Conversation.<\/h2>\n

Tradition defines dialogue as talk between characters, but all talk responds to a need, engages a purpose, and performs an action. To say something is to do something. Therefore, beneath every line of character talk, the writer must create a desire, intent, and action. That action then becomes the verbal tactic we call dialogue.<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert McKee’s popular writing workshops have earned him an international reputation. The list of alumni with Oscars runs off the page. The cornerstone of his program is his singular book, STORY<\/em>, which has defined how we talk about the art of story creation.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Raleway||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Now, in DIALOGUE<\/em>, McKee offers the same in-depth analysis for how characters speak on the screen, on the stage, and on the page in believable and engaging ways. From Macbeth<\/em> to Breaking Bad<\/em>, McKee deconstructs key scenes to illustrate the strategies and techniques of dialogue. DIALOGUE<\/em> applies a framework of incisive thinking to instruct the prospective writer on how to craft artful, impactful speech.<\/p>\n
