Ep 045 A Deep Dive into Voice

The Girl and Duck Podcast

As writers, voice is wildly important to the success of our work. But what exactly is voice and why is it so important?

When I teach creative writing IRL, I often start by asking students to define voice for me. This always leads to a robust conversation (and lots of head scratching). Most of us know instinctively what voice is but we find it tricky to define. Tricky to put into words…

Take a deep dive with me in this ep and we’ll unpick voice once and for all.

If you want to see me analyse voice in Enid Blyon, explain how and why it works (or doesn’t work), grab a copy of my creative writing book, See Me Jump. The section on voice is one of the most popular parts of the book—and for good reason. Voice is complex, nuanced and endlessly fascinating!
