Why is it so important to write great dialogue?
GREAT DIALOGUE ATTRACTS AGENTS AND PUBLISHERS.
Even if other areas of your manuscript are still rough, great dialogue indicates that you've got what it takes to write a terrific book, and they're more apt to take a chance on you.
GREAT
DIALOGUE CAPTIVATES READERS.
If a reader gets pulled in by your dialogue, chances are far better that she'll love your characters and want to follow them to the end of your story.
GREAT DIALOGUE MEANS GREAT STORY.
Powerful dialogue isn't just about characters talking to each other, it's also about story! (And
character, and theme, and setting, and tone.)
