After your title, the first thing an editor or agent notices is the voice of your story, manuscript, or proposal. Voice is the breath of the writer or, in the case of fiction, contains the power and personality of the story or narrator. And editors fall in (or out of) love with a compelling voice. Since stories and essays announce themselves through voice this workshop covers everything you want to know about voice how to create an authentic voice in fiction and nonfiction. We’ll also discuss how to create introspection, close voice, distant voice (for delivering information) creating emotional atmosphere through voice, and how voice stems from a character’s socio-economic background. We’ll also discuss how voice and viewpoint connect to bring readers into a story. During our session we'll dissect powerful examples in fiction and nonfiction, brainstorm ways to make voice sound authentic, and generate story beginnings during our session. Ideal for both the novice writer and those seeking an engaging refresher, a one-day intensive is a great way to energize your writing.
