Unpack these two complex concepts through theory, discussion and examples, and practice developing powerful voice and narration through writing exercises.
You will learn
- to understand the concept of writer’s voice
- techniques to developing and sustaining your unique voice
- the differences between you-in-life and you-on-the-page
- how to make yourself into a compelling character
- how to gain the necessary distance to write about yourself.
