Voice is an author\u2019s style of writing, which includes choice of words, sentence structure, and tone. Voice is what makes an author\u2019s work distinctive, and every writer has a different one, which is why it is important to find yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">There are lots of different ways to find your writer\u2019s voice, but here are six techniques that may help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read a lot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The more you <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/category\/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read<\/a>, the more you will be exposed to different styles of writing, which will help you develop your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Try to read outside your genre too. Read widely and read diversely. The more you read, the more you\u2019ll discover which styles speak to you and which don\u2019t. Variety is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As you read, take note of the different ways that authors use language, sentence structure, and tone. What do you like and dislike? What sounds natural to you, and what sounds forced?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">By understanding the various ways that other authors use language, you can start to develop your own style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"a man writing in a notebook\" class=\"wp-image-6566 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-32x21.webp 32w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-36x24.webp 36w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959-48x32.webp 48w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4559959.webp 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Write a lot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The more you write, the more your own style will begin to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As you write, you\u2019ll find that certain words, phrases, and sentence structures come more easily to you than others. These are the elements that make up your writer\u2019s voice. When you read back over your work, pay attention to your word choice. Look at it critically and ask yourself if it feels like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Don\u2019t force yourself to use language that doesn\u2019t come naturally to you. You can try out different styles and emulate authors you admire, but ultimately it has to feel natural. Like any skill, the more you write, the more comfortable you\u2019ll become with your own style, and the easier it will be to find your voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay attention to the things that make you unique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">What are the writing quirks that set you apart from other writers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019ve discovered that my natural style is quite old-fashioned. As a consequence, a lot of my work ends up quite dark and gothic. The key is to find that style that is uniquely yours and lean into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Participating in writing challenges is a great way to find out what makes your writing unique. <a href=\"https:\/\/novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/writers-critique-groups-and-how-to-form-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get together with other writers<\/a>, and write a set number of words based on a single prompt. Seeing the different ways each writer interprets prompts can be a great way to find your unique style and voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t be afraid to experiment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Trying different things is the best way to find out what works for you. Through experimentation, you\u2019ll be able to pinpoint what feels natural and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s also important to remember that your voice can change over time. As you grow as a writer, your style will evolve, and it\u2019s okay to experiment and change things up. Try out different tones and genre styles to see what fits. Keep what works for you, and discard what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-cottonbro-6037566-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Experiment with writer's voice - Photo by cottonbro for Pexels\" class=\"wp-image-4672 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-cottonbro-6037566-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-cottonbro-6037566-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-cottonbro-6037566-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-cottonbro-6037566-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-cottonbro-6037566-1.jpg 1279w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get feedback from others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">While finding your writer\u2019s voice can feel deeply personal, there is some benefit to getting feedback from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Get feedback from trusted sources, such as friends, family, or <a href=\"https:\/\/novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/what-is-a-beta-reader-and-how-do-i-find-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beta readers<\/a>. Ask them what they think of your work, specifically your use of language, sentence structure, and tone. You want your voice to reach readers, so taking constructive feedback on board can be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But at the end of the day, you must write in a way that feels true to you. So, if you get feedback that doesn\u2019t feel right, don\u2019t be afraid to ignore it or adapt it in a way that works better for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep a journal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">One final technique that can help you find your voice is to keep a journal. By writing down your thoughts over the course of the day with no other motivation than to document, you\u2019ll start to notice certain unique quirks in how you formulate your ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Don\u2019t want to keep a journal? No worries! You can try something a little more fun and creative, like a <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/six-unusual-places-to-find-writing-prompts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">journaling RPG<\/a>. A journaling RPG is a great way to play with creative writing without the pressure of plotting or world-building. You get to play in the sandbox of someone else\u2019s creation, focusing on nothing but the words on the page. Don\u2019t focus on style at the beginning; just write. When you read back over your words, you\u2019ll often find stylistic quirks you use naturally that are the beginnings of developing your writer\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050286-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Experiment to find your writer's voice - Photo by Vlada Karpovich\" class=\"wp-image-4670 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050286-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050286-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050286-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050286-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050286.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/682;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Finding your unique writer\u2019s voice can take time, so don\u2019t get discouraged if it doesn\u2019t happen overnight.
