7F: It’s HOW You Say It: Exploring Voice in Fiction FULL
Tweet Share
Limited Capacity full
You’ve heard agents and editors say it: “We’re looking for unique voices.” But what IS voice? And what makes one unique? What makes Raymond Carver sound so different from Truman Capote or Mohsin Hamid, and Toni Morrison from Jhumpa Lahiri or Elizabeth Strout?

From diction to narrative distance, attitude to phrasing, we will explore the many components of voice. By deconstructing a variety of excerpts and using short, practical, hands-on exercises, we will gain a better understanding of how voice is conveyed, leaving you better prepared to craft your own!
