Writing with Voice

Throughout Writing with Voice, this award winning storyteller not only explains what Voice is-putting the writer's necessary, yet elusive tool into words-she shares many published stories written across several genres, teaching the beginning writer and those who haven't yet mastered Voice, tips that will help them discover their own unique Voice and storytelling style. By being transparent while writing memoir and creative while writing nonfiction, Moss is able to embellish with the best of them when writing fiction. A must read for any writer serious about perfecting the craft of writing. Wow! Vicki Moss mixes hilarity with true faith in her story "Southern Fishing"-this is a wonderful piece. She has that real natural story-telling voice and that's what's holding it all together, of course-she has us right in the palm of her hand. I don't know if she's going to get raptured during the story or not, but she sure can write! I'm looking forward to this collection, too, because in my own mind, voice is the single most important element in prose narrative, fiction or nonfiction. And unfortunately, it's almost impossible to teach. The only way I've ever been able to do that is to give my students some good examples to read-so it'll be great to have a whole collection.
