Your character’s voice and POV at the scene level often rely on the specific word choices you utilize. But whereas POV is the narrative distance in the story, voice is the personality that comes through in the words. Voice is how you can capture the reader’s attention and keep them turning the page.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
- the difference between POV and voice
- the basics of narrative distance and how to use it
- elements of voice
- how to interpret the Character Voice Map
