Craft focus: voice in fiction

‘Voice is an act rather than a thing, a passage of breath, a movement of sound, a certain transfer of meaning – the one special feature of writing that bridges the lonely gap between writer and reader, speaker and listener, lover and lover. It is transient, communicatory,interpersonal, social. Voice, I think, is the name we give to the creation of intimacy in our art.’
- D W Wilson

This course is a one-day masterclass in the power of voice in fiction.
