I hear voices
It has been said that readers can tell authors’ works by their voice. How many times have you heard writer folks talking about this author’s voice is strong? That author’s voice is passionate and sexy?
Voice: (according to THE COMPLETE IDIOT’S GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR ROMANCE PUBLISHED) A writer’s voice is the style that reflects her/his personal rhythm, attitudes, and outlook. It’s the way sentences are out together and how they feel and sound it’s how the paragraphs gel to form a unique mood or vision it life. In other words, a writers voice is her/his own distinctive personality translated onto paper.
Do you think you could tell you faves apart? Can you tell the chicas apart? Even if you haven’t read books from all four of us, you have read our posts. And I think our “voices” are carried through those as well. Raine thought it would be interesting to find out–so we’re going to put you to the test–in a fun way!
The Chicas decided, next week we’re each going to post a portion of a WIP and see if you guys can guess whose it is. We will each pick a day that is NOT ours and on Friday we will see if anyone can guess . . . anyone game to play?
(more details to follow soon……….)



Ooh, sounds like fun, Chicas! I’m up for a challenge.
I think I could tell some of my faves apart - Diana Gabaldon would stick out, and I could definitely tell Marian Keyes from Sophie Kinsella or Helen Fielding.
