Ever wonder how your favorite YA and Middle Grade authors make their characters come to vivid life on the page without doing all that “telling” stuff we’re always told not to do? A lot of it has to do with details—the tear on a coat sleeve, the chill in a voice, the tilt of a head; and dialogue—Would a teenager ever really say that? Would that goody-two-shoes kid really lie to his mom (and if so, would it come out that easily)? Where are all the likes and ums and casual speak we hear every day? In this webinar Kieran will teach you exercises for finding the details that will bring your characters to life, and giving them a voice that is uniquely their own.

So often a submission has a great hook, but the read falls flat when the dialogue feels forced or adult and the characters blend together. This webinar will help your characters shine and stand out among all the rest.
