In a novel, when there is a telephone conversation pills online and you want the reader to know both sides of that conversation, how do you write that?
Write it like you would a normal dialogue scene.
Don’t include gestures, obviously… only include observations of the character you are following… tone of voice of the other person, background noises, pauses.
yes i agree with the first answer. but if its a phone conversation that your main character isnt involved in, you could have it where he/she picks up the phone and listens in.
