Among the hardest parts of writing, finding your voice is the foundation of a good story, whether a short essay, a magazine piece, a memoir—or a book you’re ghostwriting in someone else’s voice. This workshop will examine the decisions that go into crafting a voice that organizes and drives your story and keeps readers hanging on your every word.
