In this episode, Dialogue Doctor Coach JP Rindfleisch IX sits down with author AG Bowman to discuss AG’s opening scene. They discuss how to show the scene over telling facts, how to maintain a gritty noir narrative voice, how to help the reader experience the Vehicle character’s feelings, working with an unreliable narrator, and managing journal entries.

Oh my gosh, JP, I don’t know where to begin because you’ve given us such fantastic thoughts on writing throughout your discussion with Author, AG Bowman. I especially appreciated your comments on expanding and contrasting our writing using internal thoughts, dialogue, and body language, as well as the questions you recommend we ask ourselves while writing and editing each scene. It was great. Thank you, JP! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on the story hypothesis for my draft opening pages for the upcoming mini-course, Edit Yourself Like The Dialogue Doctor, on September 4. AG Bowman, your book sounds fantastic and chilling! Thank you for sharing your work with us. Please keep us posted on when you publish!
