Day 28 – 30 Days of Writing Advice – Understanding Voice in Fiction

DAY 28

This month of daily writing advice will include tidbits, tips, and sometimes tricks. This isn’t a replacement for editing or book coaching, it’s meant as a jumping off point for exploration and thought! I hope it helps! ~Amy

WHAT THE HECK IS VOICE?

It’s a vague term for many of us, but I tend to take it quite literally. It’s how my writing SOUNDS — inside my head, to my ear, to others’ eyes and ears. It’s the words, syntax, cadence, and pacing — mixed together with characterization and story.

Your writer voice is quite simply, your style.

Voice as much (or more) the reason we read, than is a particular story. It’s why different stories by the same authors appeal to us, or don’t. It’s THE WAY they write, their STYLE!

So now you know!

SEE YOU TOMORROW!
