SCBWI Houston: Writing Strong Voice: How to Recognize It and How to Achieve It
Aug 22, 2026

Online event
Unlimited seats
Voice is a tricky thing, perhaps one of the slipperiest elements to develop in our writing—easy for readers to identify, but tough for writers to develop. Any editor will tell you that she knows a distinct writer’s voice when she hears it, especially when it draws her into a story and keeps her there. Be ready to actively participate in the discussion. We will also do some writing practice, so have pencil and paper or laptop.
