Bad dialogue can make characters sound unrealistic, inconsistent and dull, leading readers to lose interest or stop reading. Author Ben Parris will show you how to write more engaging dialogue.
This intensive writers workshop, lead by science fiction and fantasy author Ben Parris ("Wade of Aquitaine," "Mars Armor Forged"), will explain the need for great dialogue, share examples of bad vs. good dialogue, and give students several scenarios and starting points to practice effective and memorable dialogue writing using his personal techniques and rules. A critique session will follow the discussion. His books will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
Free and open to the public. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
