Helpful!

Definitely very helpful and I learned some things I was doing right and wrong. Highly would recxommend

Every writer should read this

Great book on how to fine tune your dialogue writing with excellent examples both screenplays, books and television show

Format and examples were extremely helpful.

The outline format and examples were helpful for me. Bell provides great references for future projects.

Many dialog examples to consider

If your looking for dialog examples to use as a guide in your own writing, this is a book to review. Many of the examples mentioned I have not personally read, but staying attentive I was able to follow the examples and benefit from Mr. Bell's offerings. Nicely done was his suggestion, lif your goal is to end the story with a statement, offer the opposite of the statement in the opening of your book. I've heard it before, but this example just made it more clear.

Important info!!

This is a great book full of outstanding writing information. He has a depth of knowledge and he gives examples of how to write lines. He is fantastic.

HOWEVER, I pray he reads this…I would tell him he should not narrate this himself. He must have allergies or a cold but it was painful to listen to- between the gulping of nasal drip, high static background, and the fingers squeezing the nose voice, it nearly made me stop listening.

Please have a professional read your book! The information is phenomenal but it’s painful to listen due to the things I’ve listed.

Redo the audiobook for future listeners.
Sorry, but it’s true.

A pragmatic and methodical resourcebook

A very useful, well organized resource book on writing dazzling dialogues.
He clarified that dialogue is a crucial factor as a page-turner in writing fictions.
The author a renowned teacher of the art of writing ,in general, has given us many points on the uses of dialogues. He then hinted us on many approaches to writing dialogues.
His experience is a great asset and his ability to reduce to mnemonic points, useful guide on the subject matter.
He has greatly influenced my writing since last year when I started reading his books.
I recommend this book for all those amateur who want to learn the art of writing dia.Igue and to experts who want to deepen and improve their art of writing fictional dialogues.

Great advice from an experienced author

I’ve listened to this audiobook three times because it has so much good information. It is worth the price just for the chapter on punctuation in dialogue.

Bell the Master Teacher

Everything by James Scott Bell is excellent. He could have had a bit better production values in the audio book, but his message is very valuable.

Short but Good.

Lots of good stuff. Gives great examples from movies, books and his own thoughts. Very lean and easy to listen to. Little over an hour and a half so you can give it a few listens.

Loved it!

It was easy to read and very comprehensible. It addressed a lot of issues that I had questions about. Thanks
