Sinopsis:
Find your voice–and make your writing sing!
&break;&break;You know a great literary "voice" when you hear it: David Sedaris' humorous cynicism. Elmore Leonard's weary, smart-mouthed dialogue. Nick Hornby's simple yet imaginative descriptions. It's the kind of writing you should aspire to, right?
&break;&break;Well...not quite. Each of these authors found success in part by developing their own unique voice: a writing style that helped define - and throw the spotlight on - their work.
&break;&break;Now Les Edgerton shows you how to develop a voice of your own, one that rises above the literary din because of its individuality, not in spite of it!
&break;&break;Inside, he provides guidelines, advice and dozens of exercises for recognizing and developing a natural style that will make your characters, stories and dialogue better and more memorable. You'll learn:
- &break;&break;
- How to make any piece you write unmistakably yours and yours alone&break;
- What agents and editors really think about using your own voice&break;
- How to write better by ignoring the rules&break;
- The keys to getting your voice and personality on the page&break;
- How to get back the unique voice you may have lost by trying to write like someone else
Reseña del editor: If there is a secret to getting published, readers will find it in this book. The writers who succeed are those who develop a unique and distinctive voice, one that sets them apart from the crowd. In Finding Your Voice, Les Edgerton shows writers how to find that elusive "voice" without years of struggle. By finding their voices, writers dramatically improve their chances of getting noticed by editors and agents and, therefore, of getting published. The book's lively text (full of "voice," as one might expect) is loaded with practical, accessible advice that any beginning writer can understand. The book's unique approach to the subject also will attract the attention of more seasoned writers who have yet to achieve the level of success they seek.
