Reviews

'Dialogue is the key to unlocking character. Loren-Paul Caplin's book is a key to unlocking dialogue. Nothing is worse than listening to bad dialogue. It makes your skin crawl, your hair burst into flames, and your ears fall off. Caplin's book will help you save your audience a lot of pain and suffering.' Jim Kouf, Writer (Grimm, National Treasure, Rush Hour, Money Monster)
