The Sound of Story: Developing Voice and Tone in Writing

Jordan Rosenfeld

€ 28.99

Voice in writing can seem elusive and hard to define. It’s more than just style—it’s rhythm, energy, attitude, and the unique fingerprint of a narrator or character. Voice is shaped by culture and history as much as the mechanics of language.

In The Sound of Story, author and writing teacher Jordan Rosenfeld demystifies voice and its close companion, tone, offering writers the tools to develop and refine their own. Through contemporary examples, this book explores how syntax, point of view, and emotion (to name a few) shape voice on the page.

Whether you’re crafting fiction or nonfiction, this book will help you shape and refine voice to create compelling, authentic narratives. The Sound of Story empowers writers to wield voice and tone with purpose, increasing their chances of publication, yes, but delivering the optimum story for readers.
