You hear it all the time - Find your voice!
Publishers say they're looking for "fresh new voices."
But what does writer's voice mean, exactly?
In today's episode, we'll explore:
- What writer's voice is
- How you can encourage your voice to come out and play.
- Excerpts from stories by Meghan Daum and Ernest Hemingway to get a fix on what makes their voices distinct from any other.
- And I'll give you an exercise straight from Twyla Tharp's book, The Creative Habit, to help you access your own voice.
Notable Books:
Meghan Daum's Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That House
Ernest Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories
Twyla Tharp's The Creative Habit
