Dialogue is my weakness so this is much appreciated. Thanks!

I have one I'd like to share. It's by Morgan Hawke, and whether you agree with what she writes, this is some of the best dialogue advice I've ever seen and it's easy to follow. Moreover, it's hilarious!

She has A LOT of good advice there. And she's been round the publishing world on both sides of the book.
