Dialogue must contribute to the telling of the story said
Victorian-era novelist Anthony Trollope more than one hundred years
ago and his words have been a yardstick for writers ever since. A
more recent novelist, Stephen King, wrote, "When dialogue is right,
we know. When it's wrong we also know-it jags on the ear like a
badly tuned musical instrument." In "Shut Up " He Explained (the
title comes from a Ring Lardner poke at the way some people
overwrite), William Noble shows you how to write dialogue that
sounds right and contributes. Fiction or Nonfiction With liberal
use of anecdotes and examples, Noble develops six "Master Keys to
Dialogue," each of which is crucial for the fiction or nonfiction
writer to understand and use. You'll learn how to use dialogue to:

plot create flashbacks and transitions You'll also learn when to
use narrative instead of dialogue; how to write in dialect; and how
to deal with interior monologue (your character's thoughts). And
more An important section of "Shut Up " He Explained covers the
misuse of dialogue from the legal viewpoint, exploring libel and
right-to-privacy. Get a copy of "Shut Up He Explained" an make your
writing scintillate with captivating dialogue. "This is the best
book that I could find on the use of dialog when writing fiction."
