Benny Sims, Chris Berg, Gabrielle St. George, Jaden (Beth) Terrell, Les Edgerton, Nancy Sartor, and Rick Glaze examine how dialogue reveals character, drives plot, and keeps readers engaged. This session explores tone, authenticity, audience awareness, and the subtle role of body language in shaping meaningful exchanges.
