About this listen

Ready to have some fun? This week on Lore & Love, we're diving into one of the most enjoyable parts of writing: dialogue! It's the moment your characters truly come alive, and great dialogue does more than just move the plot forward—it reveals character, builds relationships, and creates sparkling subtext.

Join Alexandria as she explores how to give each of your characters a unique and recognizable voice. Using hilarious and heartfelt examples from her manuscript, Storm Kin, she'll break down how a dwarf's hearty boom, a warrior's weary wit, and a scholar's earnestness can all exist on the same page. Discover the secret power of banter and how a funny story about an elf being turned into a wild boar can say more about a friendship than pages of exposition.

Plus, take "The 'Said' Bookism Challenge"—a practical and powerful exercise to test if your characters' voices are truly shining through.
