Writing Dialogue (Lit Starts): A Book of Writing Prompts Reviews
-
I love this new series of writing books by the Writers Grotto! Even better than 642 Things to Write About because it includes a chapter about the craft of writing dialogue.

I'm a fan of all the lit starts books, not only for myself, but for the students in my creative writing classes. There's a brief chapter at the beginning of each book, plus a page of "tips," followed by prompts that you can either "fill in" or write about in your own notebook or on your own computer. Many are unusual and mind-stretching. So good for writers.
