1. Identify the reasons why your dialogue isn't working. One of the biggest problems aspiring screenwriters face is being able to RECOGNIZE poorly written dialogue in their own work. It can be hard to step back and look at the dialogue objectively when you're deep in the story, and so in the book we show you some practical methods you can use to do just that.

2. Eliminate the main problems holding your dialogue back. We break down the three most common mistakes aspiring screenwriters make when it comes to dialogue: 1. It's too on-the-nose, 2. There's too much of it, 3. All the characters sound the same, and show you how to identify and combat each one.

3. Improve your dialogue with a new weekly writing practice. Not only will the theory hacks and practical exercises help you identify and eliminate bad dialogue, they'll also provide a solid GAME PLAN on how to write interesting, effective dialogue going forward.
