All writers hear about the importance of voice, but how do you capture it on the page? How do you know when you’ve landed in your voice? And how do you sustain voice if you’re writing a novel from more than one character’s point of view? In this class, best-selling author Jesmyn Ward, two-time National Book Award winner and author of Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Sing, takes on a journey into voice—your own and your characters. She’ll give insight into her own process, and tips for how to mine the depths of your characters, and how to be courageous and authentic with your own voice, no matter what genre you’re writing. There are few elements of craft more fundamental to ensuring your reader connects with your story than voice and point of view, and this class will expand your horizons while offering valuable takeaways to implement with your work-in-progress or next project.
