Karyn Fischer ON: Writing a Memorable Narrative Voice for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction


Listen Later

Abigail sits down with Karyn Fischer, a book coach and past literary agent of Bookstop Literary Agency, to discuss narrative voice and how to differentiate a character’s voice in middle grade and young adult novels. 

If you’re writing a middle grade or young adult novel—or you get consistent feedback that something is just “off” with your voice—this episode is for you. 

Karyn shares specific (and practical) tips that can help you improve your narrative voice, and she even takes a deep-dive into two examples that emphasize when a voice really works, and why it needs to change in order to reflect the age of the protagonist.    

As a certified Author Accelerator book coach, and a past literary agent with additional experience as a bookseller and book buyer for an indie bookstore (among various other roles in the industry), Karyn knows how to teach writers how to improve their character’s voice and prose. I don’t want you to miss out!

P.S. After you listen to this episode, share it with a writing companion who could use this advice, and don’t forget to subscribe to the show and rate/review it so that Abigail can reach more writers like you who want to blend their passion of writing with business.
