Finding Your Writer's Voice

A Guide to Creative Fiction

About this book

"Beginning would-be writers should begin with this encouraging title, which provides a collection of exercises designed to unlock creative techniques." — Midwest Book Review
A Writer's Digest Best Book of the Year
An illuminating guide to finding one's most powerful writing tool, Finding Your Writer's Voice helps writers learn to hear the voices that are uniquely their own. Mixing creative inspiration with practical advice about craft, the book includes chapters on:
  • Accessing raw voice
  • Listening to voices of childhood, public and private voices, and colloquial voices
  • Working in first and third person: discovering a narrative persona
  • Using voice to create characters
  • Shaping one's voice into the form of a story
  • Reigniting the energy of voice during revision

"Happily, Frank and Wall practice what they preach in their own well-wrought book, whose voice is frank and objective but warmly conversational. The many exercises are intriguing and imaginative." — Booklist
"The authors have focused on a writing skill that is very hard to teach, and they have done so successfully. The ideas they present are good, and the exercises should help writers get at the heart of their feelings and passions." — Library Journal
"A valuable collection of helpful exercises, thought-provoking ideas, personal anecdotes, and tips." — Writers Connection
