M.H. Sullivan asked M.H. Sullivan:

What do you think characterizes your writing?

M.H. Sullivan I use a lot of dialog. I think that dialog – the things people say to each other and how they respond – define who they are and underpin their relationships. We get to know each other through conversation, so I always want to get the dialog right. I don’t spend nearly the same amount of time with descriptions of my characters because I think readers imagine the characters for themselves, so beyond giving them a sense of the character’s age and a few signature characteristics, I let the reader determine what they look like. The dialog, on the other hand, defines them.
