Dialog is what characters say. Powerful stories are dialog-driven through carefully chosen word selections. The four purposes of dialog in your story
1. Move your story forward
2. Reveal something important about your plot
3. Show something important about your character
4. Give your character a unique voice
Conversations that take place between characters are often the reader’s favorite part. Add value to your story by writing dialog that is clever, creative, and concise.
