How to Write Better CHARACTER VOICE (with examples)

What are the three key ingredients to writing spot-on character voice? That's the question we're exploring in today's podcast. As writers, we want to build strong, engaging characters that will hook our readers on page one -- and while we want these characters to have transformative journeys and arcs, the one thing we DON'T want is for that character to lose their voice along the way. See, there's a huge difference between a character arc and... changing a character altogether. So how do we send our characters off on a journey, but also keep their voices strong? We're breaking down 3 simple keys to writing character voice like a BOSS. So grab a notebook and let's get started!
