dialogue techniques

Dialogue techniques are strategies writers use to make conversations between characters feel natural and engaging. They include using realistic language, varying sentence lengths, and including dialogue tags (like "he said" or "she asked") to clarify who is speaking. Techniques also involve showing character emotions through tone, pauses, or actions within the dialogue, and creating flow so conversations sound believable. Effective dialogue reveals personality, advances the plot, and builds relationships, all while keeping readers interested. These methods help create authentic interactions that draw readers into the story.
