About This Training
— Intermediate training —
We often hear that voice is the first ingredient an agent – or any other reader, for that matter – looks for in a novel. Whether you’re writing in the first or third person, creating an engaging voice, and getting this right for the story, is essential. A good voice could describe a ketchup bottle and be utterly compelling. A voice that doesn’t work could talk about the most powerful events imaginable and the reader simply won’t care. In this workshop, we’ll start off by demystifying what we mean by voice. Then, using a combination of exercises, examples and practical advice, we’ll analyse the elements of a strong voice and work out ways to ensure the voice leaps from the page in your story.
