Have you spent months or years…

• Being told by readers that your screenplay’s dialogue is too “on-the-nose,” “overwritten” or “every character sounds the same”?

• Tired of the same old cliched advice: “add subtext,” “show don’t tell” and “make your dialogue pop off the page”?

• Receiving great feedback or grades on your script’s plot or structure, but poor ones on its characters and their dialogue?

• Knowing the theory behind great dialogue, but becoming frustrated when it comes to actually implementing it in your script?

Many aspiring screenwriters think that writing conversations in scripts means just letting their characters talk… and talk… and talk…

This book will show you that's not what script dialogue is about at all. It's time to stop your characters just randomly talking and get them having pro level conversations.  

After working through Master Screenplay Dialogue, you’ll be able to:

• Stop your characters having long-winded conflict-free happy-go-lucky conversations. i.e. stop them just talking. 

• How to give each one of your characters a “voice” that makes them stand out as individuals through what they say and how they say it.

• Start getting your characters only say words that are critical to the story, the theme, their character motivations, backstories, and so on.

• Implement the "game of tennis" method to give your dialogue constant back-and-forth conflict.
