The Sound of Story: Developing Voice and Tone in Writing is a guide to voice and its close companion, tone. Author and writing teacher Jordan Rosenfeld explains voice as more than style. It includes rhythm, energy, attitude, and the unique fingerprint of a narrator or character.
The book uses contemporary examples to show how syntax, point of view, emotion, and other elements shape voice on the page. It also covers how culture and history influence voice, along with the mechanics of language.
It is written for writers of both fiction and nonfiction. It offers tools to develop and refine voice and tone. The book is published under Sibyl Writing Craft, a new imprint of Sibylline Press for titles on writing craft and the book business.
