ATTENTION BOOK AUTHORS:

When prolonged dialog is occuring between 2 or more characters, please ensure there are more cues as to who is speaking every few lines.

I've reviewed some unpublished books with this issue (compounded by 3 or 4 characters in a group), and currently reading Snow Crash on Corny Chat on Monday nights.

Last night some back and forth dialog between Hiro and The Librarian ended up having some back to back portions from one of the characters which creates flow confusion.

Just a consideration if you are writing material that is full of dialogue, or transposing inner monologue narration with characters met.
