Dialogue Tags for your story characters

A writing teacher recently sent me an e-mail asking if I could help her students by providing a list of alternative dialogue tags that they could use when writing fiction.

I was a little reluctant, at first. I pondered the idea of sharing my private dialogue tag list with her—or anyone, for that matter. Although I knew in my heart that beginning authors usually make the mistake of ending dialogue with, "he said," or "she said."

For years I've known that adding descriptive dialogue tags to a character's speech adds excitement, spice, and a sense of how that character is defined.

Without revealing too much more, if you'd like a copy of my secret and private dialogue tag list, you can download it here: Dialogue Tags

Please leave a comment about my "private dialogue tag" list.

Thanks, and all my best.
