Kristan Higgins
Defining and Refining Voice
Directions & Meeting Information
Comments like "You have it or you don't" just aren't helpful when it comes to voice, arguably the most important factor in writing. Kristan breaks down the elements that contribute to voice using a variety of examples of distinctive writers from Jennifer Crusie to Ernest Hemingway. In addition, she introduces exercises that help define and strengthen an author's voice in this lively, interactive workshop.
Speaker's Bio: Bestselling, award-winning author Kristan Higgins has been called "one of the most honest and creative voices in contemporary romance." In 2008, she won the prestigious Romance Writers of America RITA Award in Single Title Contemporary for CATCH OF THE DAY, and has been nominated again this year for TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Author of six romantic comedies for HQN Books, Kristan lives in Connecticut with her heroic firefighter husband, two lovely children and a devoted mutt. Her latest release, THE NEXT BEST THING, is set in Rhode Island.
