It’s what they put in the story and how they interpret it. Yes, if I like an author’s voice that I’ve not read before I will buy the books, and have done so. I’d not read any of DD Scott’s ebooks until last year. I bought one and liked it and have bought most of her others because I like her writing.

I teach a workshop on the writer’s voice at Oxford and City University and it’s always great to get fresh perspectives, so thanks for sharing your ideas. On another note, after reading your tip about watching movies to learn further how to show not tell in writing, I happened to watch The Limey, which is such a great example of how to play around with narrative structure. I don’t think I would have noticed that if I hadn’t been reading your book, so double thanks!!

Really, I’m sure we could come up with a definition for “voice” if we had to… but it still wouldn’t /really/ define it, which is exactly your point! What you didn’t touch on here though is how malleable voice can be – we all use different voices when we right depending on what we’re writing. Yes, there is some bit that remains the same within it, but it can still be quite a drastic change. I know my voice changes depending on whether I’m writing a story or writing an essay.
