Things to remember when writing dialogue Write it as realistically as possible. Make it clear who is speaking when. Do not give too much information or unrealistic information in dialogue. Keep the conversation moving. Make it as easy to read as possible.

Rules of punctuating dialogue Start a new paragraph when a new person speaks or a large passage of action interrupts the speaking. Use quotation marks to surround all spoken words on both sides. Use speaker tags to show who is talking Use the proper end marks. Endmarks always go inside the quotes.

Endmarks – possibly the most difficult part of dialogue. Use a comma if the dialogue is a statement and there is a speaker tag following. Example: “Welcome home,” she said, stepping forward to take his hand.

When a speaker tag interrupts the speech... Treat it as parenthetical information and use a comma on either side. “I can’t believe,” she said, “that you are finally here.”

Use a period... If no speaker tag follows the quotation: “Welcome home.” She stepped forward to take his hand. “Thank you.” He offered his own hand in return.

When a question mark or exclamation point is used... Follow with a lowercase letter if a speaker tag is used. Example: “It has been so long!” she exclaimed. Use a capital letter there is no speaker tag. “Hasn’t it?” Her hand was warm in his own as he smiled down at her.
