Developing Voice and Style
Developing Voice and Style
An agent once told me that the one thing she looks for in a submission is a solid sense of voice. Craft can be taught, editors can be hired, but voice is the real deal. A command of voice and style proclaims to the reader that you can be trusted to lead them on a worthwhile journey to a place of truth.
Join me for this interactive workshop that will clarify the definition of voice and equip you with specific tools to develop your own distinct writing style.
