How can I improve my dialogue writing skills?

To improve your dialogue writing, focus on making it sound natural and true to your characters. What genre are you writing in?

I'm writing a fantasy novel. Any specific tips for that?

In fantasy, consider the world-building aspects. Use dialogue to reveal cultural nuances and unique speech patterns of different races.

That makes sense! How can I ensure my characters sound distinct from each other?

Give each character a unique voice by varying their vocabulary, speech patterns, and even their emotional responses. You can also use backstory to inform their dialogue.

Thanks! Any resources you recommend for practicing dialogue?

Absolutely! Try reading plays or screenplays, as they focus heavily on dialogue. Writing exercises like character interviews can also help.
