Writing and Self-Discovery: How Writers Find Their Unique Voice with David Hazard, May 14, 1-4PM.
Finding your “unique voice” is the same as finding the “edge” or “spin” that every agent and publisher will look for in your writing. Do you know what it is? This workshop will help you explore your voice and add that edge which makes your writing, not only interesting for your readers, but marketable as well. As you come to truly understand and express yourself, you will understand your audience more. Your writing can become more purposeful and focused. This will in turn make your pitches and proposals more focused on what agents and publishers are looking for, unique “value propositions” and “takeaways.” Preregistration required.
