Develop Your Authorial Voice: Craft a Unique Writer Identity (Skillshare)

Do you have author's who seem to have such a unique voice that, even if their name were not on a book you would know it was written by them? Do you feel like you don't have a solid handle on your own voice, that you would like to "write like ______" but that you also do not want to simply imitate them?

This class is designed to help you discover who you are as a writer, who you WANT to be as a writer, and whose work inspires you. Through a series of exercises we will examine what unique attributes you bring to your writing, what you love about others' works, and how to blend these things into a magical voice that only you can have.
I am so excited to bring this to you; please leave a review if you found it helpful.
This class is a series of exercises that, taken together, will help you define a profile of your ideal authorial voice and will help you practice writing in that voice! Download the exercise in the Resources section of the course and follow along with the videos!
