Writer's Digest: What to Do to Maximize Your Launch Week And Get Your Book Noticed
Description: The key to getting your writing noticed is to develop your voice. Like the voice of a great singer, a writer's voice has its own character and energy. Think about it: you can always tell when Rhianna, Kelly Clarkson, or Barbra Streisand is singing just from listening to the first few notes. A writer's voice is like music, too. It creates mood and gets attention. And, like a fingerprint it is yours only. It took me a long time to find my voice — my writer's voice. Now, I help my students at NYU and for Writer's Digest and in my coaching groups find their voice. Your voice shows your personality, wit, and way with words, and reflects how you view the world. In this presentation, I will share my experience in bringing out who I am on the page, and will share specific steps on what you need to do to find your own voice.
