Voice can sound like a scary, abstract word for writers. But it needn't be. Voice is simply about finding out who you are and the unique way in which you – and only you – can tell your story.
In this session, which makes up part of our Children's & YA Fiction Festival, author Alexandra Sheppard looks at how writers of Young Adult fiction can develop their unique writing voice. From sentence structure and tone, to establishing mood and atmosphere as well as creating distinct voices for each one of your characters, you'll leave this workshop with tools that can be applied to your own writing and help create a strong narrative.
