Our take on the The Sound of Story : Developing Voice and Tone in Writing

The Sound of Story is a writing-craft book by Jordan Rosenfeld, a novelist and writing teacher, about developing voice and tone in fiction and nonfiction. It treats voice as more than style: rhythm, energy, attitude and the narrator's fingerprint, shaped by culture and history as well as language mechanics. Chapters work through syntax, point of view and emotion with contemporary examples, aiming at authentic narratives and better odds of publication. It sits with craft guides that focus on prose style rather than plot or structure, and it is one of the first titles from Sibylline Press's Sibyl Writing Craft imprint.
