Description 

You and Your Voice.

Writers—quick question: How do you know when a piece sounds like you… and not like every other writer you admire? Voice is one of the most talked-about elements of craft—and one of the least clearly taught. If you’ve ever wondered: What actually makes my writing identifiably mine? Why my work fits a genre but doesn’t sound like others in it? Which habits strengthen my voice—and which quietly dull it?

This online workshop may be for you. "You and Your Voice" is a hands-on writing exercise workshop led by Heather Browne, an award-listed poet and fiction writer with decades of teaching and publishing experience. If refining your voice is one of your writing goals this year, this is a focused, generous place to do that work.

How to Develop a Style, (according to C.S. Lewis)

"The way for a person to develop a style is (a) to know exactly what he wants to say, and (b) to be sure he is saying exactly that. The reader, we must remember, does not start by knowing what we mean. If our words are ambiguous, our meaning will escape him. I sometimes think that writing is like driving sheep down a road. If there is any gate open to the left or the right, the readers will most certainly go into it." - C.S. Lewis, in "Cross-Examination," God in the Dock
