Quick! What's the number one thing that connects readers to characters and stories?

If you guessed dialogue,
you're right!

With He Said, She Said, you'll have dialogue that's on point and truly immersive, turning readers who enter your world into superfans.

SIGN ME UP—LET'S DO THIS!

Connecting with readers is what's going to turn them into superfans, and the best tool that you have is your dialogue. That's what builds emotion, and…

emotion creates attachment.

Don't throw that away because your dialogue is stilted, cluttered, or worse yet, confusing. It's not just the words coming out of your characters' mouths that can put up roadblocks... it's also the presentation of those words.

You know how your favorite books make you feel like you've found a friend? You connect with the characters, cheer for them, hurt for them, get mad for them? That's immersion, and it does not happen by accident. But here's the good news—writing lively dialogue isn't some great mystery. It's a learnable skill, and you can add it to your writer's toolbox in just a few hours with my class, He Said, She Said.

We've all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. But here's the thing—you can create pictures with your words.

A big part of that is done through dialogue and the accompanying actions.

See those pictures on the left? You can have readers painting imagery that's just as vivid as they read your story. And once they're immersed in your world... you've got them hooked in a good way!

Yes—I want to take my dialogue to the next level!

He Said, She Said…
Guaranteed to breathe new life into your characters' conversations!

"There is absolutely nothing like the voice of true experience. I am already in the process of revising some of the dialogue on my latest piece, back from the editor, I should add, but without direction on the dialogue that would clearly make it much better. He Said, She Said was fantastic!"

—Barbara Emodi

What I liked the most about the He Said/She Said course was that the recommendations work! I've used many of them already in my new manuscript, and the changes have greatly improved my dialogue. I've been reading it to my daughter and husband, and they noticed it's much better, more streamlined and realistic.


This was a great investment for my future!

What You Will Receive:

Bite-sized lessons that put the shine on your characters' convos:

  • Lessons 1-6: Superquick walk-throughs to get you up to speed on the mechanics of dialogue

    Quit worrying about how to punctuate dialogue and get this down pat. From speech tags to action beats, from ellipses to em dashes, we're going to cover it all, but quickly and painlessly. I promise.

  • Lesson 7: The Natural Pause

    There is one action beat that you can almost always get rid of, and I'd bet money that you have this slacker in your manuscript. Find out what it is and how to put it to work.

  • Lesson 8: Eliminating Waste

    Speaking of slackers… Redundant action beats aren't doing your story any favors. Recognize where you can trim them out and make your story more immersive while you're at it.

  • Lesson 9: Tightening Dialogue and Clarifying Your Speakers

    It's never a good thing if your readers are wondering who's talking. But you can keep everyone on the same page (ha!) without overusing speech tags, and I'll show you how.

  • Lesson 10: Intro to the Class Project

    The project at the end of this class will let you put your new skills to the test. Even better, you can see what other students have done and comment on their project and get feedback on your own work.

  • Lesson 11: Said-Bookisms and Invisible Tags

    What the heck is a said-bookism? Learn what they are and more importantly how to give them the heave-ho!

  • Lesson 12: Eliminating Unnecessary Adverbs and Stage Direction

    I'm not the one to say eliminate adverbs. Adverbs are great, but you need to know when they're a red flag for where you can strengthen your dialogue. Hand in hand with that concept is making sure your action beats don't read like stage direction.

  • Lesson 13: Avoiding Infodumps in Your Dialogue

    Infodumps in dialogue are just as bad—sometimes worse!—as infodumps in narrative. Learn how to use your dialogue to push the narrative forward rather than just throwing details at your reader.

  • Lesson 14: Cutting Out Filter Words

    Discover which speech tags can often be cut out because they go without saying. Getting rid of them will make your story high speed, low drag.

  • Lesson 15: Tricks to Make Your Dialogue Sound More Natural

    Wooden puppets don't hook readers. Learn how to make your dialogue more true to life.

Hi! I'm Anne Victory!

You may be wondering who the heck I am, and that's okay. 🙂


I'm a freelance editor, and I've been editing fiction books for over a decade now. My clients includeNew York Times and USA Today best-selling authors and award winners  as well as new authors who are working on their first book. I believe strongly in the power of the written word, but…

I've seen too many gifted writers fall into the trap of writing brilliant stories that fail to connect with readers because the dialogue falls flat. It doesn't read like real people speak, or it just doesn't paint a picture for the reader. Whether it's tepid dialogue that lacks emotion or too much telling instead of showing, I've seen it all.


But the great news is this: it's fixable! You can learn to write dialogue that draws readers in just like they're watching a movie and gets them truly immersed in your world and invested in your characters!

Frequently asked questions…

How long is this class? I'm on a deadline!

That's okay—He Said, She Said is a surgical strike, designed to have you writing cleaner, more immersive dialogue almost immediately. You should be able to complete the class within an afternoon (or feel free to space the lessons out over a week 🙂) and start implementing the techniques within a couple of days, possibly faster depending on your story and other commitments.

Is this really going to help me write better dialogue?

Yes! Absolutely yes. If you take the time to go over the lessons and then apply them to your own work, you'll start noticing a difference immediately. The dialogue issues I cover in this class are the same things I encounter when I'm editing for my clients, many of whom are USA Today and New York Times best-selling authors.

Can I buy this and get a refund if I don't like it?

Absolutely! Improvement is 100% guaranteed! If you watch all the classes and implement the lessons and DON'T have dialogue that's more immersive than it was before... I will personally give you your money back if you request a refund within 30 days.

What if I haven't finished my story yet?

That's totally cool—you'll be able to implement these strategies as you write. Also, it's a lot easier to build good habits than it is to relearn old ones, so you'll be ahead of the game. 🙂

How long will I have access to the class?

You'll have access for the lifetime of the course. That means you can come back and do a refresher anytime you want and there's no stress about completing the class by a certain date, though you'll probably want to finish as soon as you can and start putting those new skills to use immediately. 🙂

Writing Your First Book

You'll still find tips and tricks you can use in your dialogue. The methods I cover here are things I share all the time when I'm editing, even when I'm working on stories from best-selling authors.
