Finding Your Character’s Voice Through the World Around Them

We often talk about efficient writing and how weaving together aspects of a story can help you convey ideas seamlessly and in as few words as possible. So how exactly do you accomplish that? Through the use of specific examples, common pitfalls, and two writing exercises, we'll explore how to reveal facets of both your character and your world simultaneously. This can help remove that pesky authorial presence, decrease chunky backstory, increase reader immersion, and show the uniqueness of your characters.

Andrea Stewart is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Drowning Empire trilogy and The Hollow Covenant trilogy, and works as a writing coach at The Novelry. The Bone Shard Daughter was her debut and was a finalist for numerous awards, including the Goodreads Choice Award and the British Fantasy Award.  When her (admittedly ambitious) dreams of becoming a dragon slayer didn't pan out, she instead turned to writing books. She now lives in sunny California, and in addition to writing, can be found herding cats, looking at birds, and falling down research rabbit holes.
