In this workshop, you’ll learn how to take your dialogue to the next level. We’ll start by reminding ourselves of the essential flesh and bones of speech in story, before rolling up our sleeves and really digging into it, exploring through examples and exercises the key dialogue techniques you can use to ensure you deliver not just the meat of believable, relatable characters but the lifeblood of your story: tension.
Lucy Barker is the author of The Other Side of Mrs Wood, published by 4th Estate, the first draft of which was selected as runner-up for the Curtis Brown First Novel Prize. A lifelong writer with a passion for women’s social history, Lucy’s stories take inspiration from the myriad of fascinating women she uncovered through research for her MA in Victorian Studies with Birkbeck College. Lucy lives in Bath with her husband, two children and the cat. Her second novel will be published by 4th Estate in spring 2026.
