In this third episode of How to Write a Book, Elizabeth Day’s new podclass series, hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew discuss finding your voice. What constitutes an authorial voice? And how does it differ from a narrative voice, or a character’s voice? Do they require vulnerability to cultivate? And how can they come together, like a perfectly pitched  symphony? Our expert podclass provides answers to all of this, as well as how to make your voice stand out; and even where to find it. Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing. Books and authors discussed in these episodes include: •  The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins •  Rainbow Milk by Paul Mendez •  Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn •  Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov •  The Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe •  Vanity Fair, William Thackeray •  Bronte sisters •  Jane Fallon We also talk about: Margaret Atwood, James Baldwin, Tony Morrison, Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes, John le Carré, Emily Henry, Jane Fallon, Dorothy Koomson, Beth O’Leary, Kit de Waal, Grace Paley and the Brontes.
