In this episode, Dialogue Doctor Coach Laura Humm holds an Office Hour with four different authors. Together they discuss, how to keep track of the details in your book, how to manage flashbacks, should you add emails or letters to your narrative, the benefits and draw backs of having more than one POV, and more.

Hi Laura,
The Office Hour format was phenomenal. It felt like sitting through an entire course with four authors expressing themselves—and beautifully, I might add—as they posed questions for you to address. With six pages of notes, there are just too many aspects of this learning experience to cover effectively. If I had to choose one topic from the many your guests and you discussed that helped me think more clearly, it would be author and character voice. While I’ve heard instructors speak about an author’s voice before, your correlation to artists and their different works throughout their lives made something click for me in a way it hadn’t before.
Thank you so much for offering this fantastic learning experience, and a huge thank you to the authors who contributed to the discussion.
