Creating Compelling Dialogue
Writing Conversations That Reveal Character and Drive the Story

The Art of Character Development
Building People Readers Believe In
Plot can get a reader to turn the page, but character is why they care what happens on it. A story full of clever twists falls flat if the people inside it feel like cardboard, and a quiet story can grip us completely when its characters feel real.

About the author
C.R. Lang
C.R. Lang was born in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. He is the author of published articles, numerous short stories, and several novellas. His lifelong passion has always been English literature. He has always had an extreme love of people, hearing their stories, talking about the lives they lead, and telling tales of their experiences.
In addition to his world-building stories and his love for writing, Lang devotes his heart, time, energy, and most of all his love to raising and caring for his nieces, while also supporting his retired mother and intellectually disabled younger brother. Above all else, though, he considers his faith and family the most important parts of his entire life.
When he is not spending time with friends, sharing stories, or caring for his loved ones, he can often be found reading at home, nestled quietly in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
