Upcoming Writing Workshop
 VOICE: It’s Not Just What You Say, It’s How You say It
Voice is your perspective, your observations, your tone. The way you see things.
Voice is the way you craft your sentences, choose your words, describe what you see. Your perspective. It is a combination of everything that makes you, you and me, me. Your experience, your undertanding, your personality. Just like several artists if given the task to paint an object, all would create something unique. The same thing applies to writers. When discussing an experience, everyone will approach it differently.
Make your writing sound like you.
Style is the form and structure with which you write.
Voice is the attitude and perspective with which you write.
You need your voice to speak. You also need your voice to write.
Your voice is unique. It defines and differentiates you from everyone else. It's one of the things that makes you who you are. As as a speaker – and a writer.
Voice in writing is the way you choose your words, describe what you see, view the world. The individual perspective that only you have. And writing true-life stories in the first person requires a particularly deft use of voice.
In this practical, hands-on workshop, we'll address everything you need to know to develop your voice and create effective and appealing inspirational stories. You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize the hallmarks of a strong voice.
- Analyze the elements of voice: authenticity, honesty, simplicity, humor, and courage.
- Know the difference between style and voice, and how they are related to one another and can be developed to strengthen your writing.
- Capitalize on your own unique voice. There's no one else who sounds like you and we'll teach you to use that to your advantage!
Date: Tuesday, April 13th
