In this episode of The Book In You podcast, Tim Elmore and Jared Cagle explore the critical topic of finding your authentic writer's voice. They emphasize the importance of avoiding the temptation to simply imitate successful authors and instead develop a unique style that resonates with your personality and message. Tim shares his personal journey of learning this lesson while working with John Maxwell early in Tim’s career. The hosts then dive into seven distinct "frequencies" or communication styles, as defined by author Erwin McManus, that can help writers identify their primary voice. As you listen, discover relatable examples of well-known authors who embody each style, and find out how to avoid forcing yourself into a frequency that doesn't come naturally. Embracing your authentic voice is the key to producing your best work and connecting with readers on a deeper level.
