...well worth it.
30 augustus 2009 | Door: Hermen van Loon | 'S-GRAVENHAGE
I bought “Finding your writer’s voice” by Thaisa Frank and Dorothy Wall together with “Finding your voice” by Les Edgerton. I have to say that the books do complement each other. I did read the book by Les Edgerton first and enjoyed this so much that it was impossible not to compare. “Finding your writer’s voice” is a no nonsense book. It delivers the message pretty straight. It has good balance between theory and practical exercises. It’s also filled with many examples from both writers and from their students or other famous writers. In the beginning the book came off as somewhat New Age-like to me in the way they talk about voice. But surpassing that, it’s a very interesting and educational read. After finishing Les Edgerton’s book, I started directly on this one. That was a bit of a cold shower after reading a, at times, quite humorous book about voice and the craft of writing. The somewhat dark colored pages of “Finding your writer’s voice,” the not really inspiring layout and the lack of knowing who the “I” in each and every different part of the book is (Thaisa Frank or Dorothy Wall) made it at times a bit of a struggle to finish the book. But in the end I have to say, it’s well worth it in doing so. Alongside “Finding your voice” Thaisa Frank’s and Dorothy Wall’s “Finding your writer’s voice” is spot on finding that unique voice. Getting you to write, and making sure editors will have a serious interest in your work.
