Ever wondered what makes your writing sound like you? Not sure whether your voice needs more development or just more confidence?

In this episode of Soul & Story, Sara and Cindy dig in deep about finding your author voice: what it really is, how it differs from style, tone, and genre, and how Sara discovered and grew her own. Sara shares practical ways to hear your voice, from recording yourself telling a story to rewriting a scene from another genre, explains why the things you leave unsaid matter as much as what's on the page, and offers one simple step you can take this week to grow more confident in the way you tell a story.
