Dialogue Writing

Dialogue writing involves the exchange of views between two or more people in written conversational form. When writing dialogue, you can use contractions and informal language as it is a conversation. Be sure to properly use punctuation like quotation marks and exclamation points.

Dialogue writing

Introduction
• Dialogue is exchange of views between two or
more people.
• Dialogue writing is conversation in written
form.
• Mostly it involves two people (‘di’ means two)
but may have more people.
Instruction for Writing Dialogue
• You can use contraction or short form of words
while writing dialogue as it is conversation.
• Be careful in using punctuation, such as inverted
commas and the sign of exclamation, while
writing dialogues.
• It is important to note that the speaker in
dialogue writing should be followed by
semicolon (e.g., Lawyer:). The words of the
speaker follow the semicolon.
Continued
• Do not put dash after semicolon. It should be
written with two dots (:) only.
• Be aware of the nature of relation between
characters while writing dialogues. For
example, formal relation exists between a
teacher and student whereas there is informal
relation between two friends. Therefore, word
choice should be made by keeping in view the
formality of the relation between characters.
