In this episode of the Write it Scared podcast, we dig deep into the concept of 'voice', an often ambiguous term that confounds many writers. Voice is a unique blend of the author's own perspective, their narrative choices, and their characters' personalities. I offer actionable advice on how to discover and refine one's author's voice, choose the right narrator, and develop compelling character voices. This episode is a comprehensive guide to mastering the intricate layers of voice in fiction writing.

Agatha Christie, born in 1890 in Torquay, Devon, England, was a pioneering and prolific writer who revolutionized the crime fiction genre. Best known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections featuring iconic characters like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, Christie became one of the most influential authors of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Her personal life was marked by a mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926 and two marriages, including a long and happy union with archaeologist Max Mallowan. Appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1971, Christie remains the best-selling fiction writer of all time, with over two billion copies of her books sold worldwide. Christie's innovative writing style, characterized by clever plots, intricate mysteries, and surprising twists, set her apart from other authors in the genre. She masterfully employed techniques such as the unreliable narrator and sudden plot twists, which challenged readers' assumptions and kept them engaged until the very end. By constantly pushing the boundaries of the genre, Christie established herself as the undisputed Queen of Crime. John Truby, in his book "The Anatomy of Genres," distinguishes the Detective Genre from the closely related Crime and Gangster Genres. He argues that detective novels focus more on the investigation itself, delving into the criminal's identity and motivations, rather than solely on the punishment of wrongdoing and the maintenance of social order. This emphasis on understanding the "why" behind the crime adds psychological depth to detective stories, as exemplified in Christie's "The Witness for the Prosecution." Truby also notes that in the Gangster Genre, the criminal is often portrayed as the hero, a departure from traditional roles in detective and crime fiction. While "The Witness for the Prosecution" does not strictly fall into this category, it presents a morally ambiguous situation where readers' sympathies may be divided, highlighting Christie's skill in crafting multifaceted characters and thought-provoking narratives. "The Witness for the Prosecution" showcases the vulnerabilities of the legal system and explores the ethical quandaries faced by solicitors as they balance their professional obligations with their own moral principles. Christie's manipulation of societal expectations surrounding gender roles in 1920s Britain adds an extra layer of complexity to the story, subverting traditional portrayals of women as passive and submissive in the face of male authority. Christie's gender role reversal serves as a powerful narrative device, compelling readers to reassess their assumptions about characters and their motivations. Her skillful use of societal expectations adds depth to the story's twists, making them all the more impactful and thought-provoking without relying on conventional tropes.

Welcome to the Nick Taylor Horror Show. John Truby is a widely known name in the realms of screenwriting and storytelling, having shaped the narratives of over 1,000 film scripts as a consultant. John is also the author of multiple books, including 'Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller,' and his latest release, 'The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works,' which delves into the core elements that shape various genres, with a big focus on horror. On top of being an acclaimed author, John is also a lecturer and course creator with online courses that meticulously analyze multiple genres, and his horror/fantasy/sci-fi class is truly excellent. In today's conversation, we'll be dissecting the horror genre, from its structural elements to its primal effects on human beings. We'll explore common mistakes in horror scripts and discuss how writers can keep their horror narratives fresh and riveting. This interview is packed with insight, and we've designed it to be a tight 30-minute segment that can be easily revisited whenever you're about to embark on a new horror project, so I hope you enjoy and get a lot out of it. John is clearly the real deal when it comes to understanding genre, and I would put his work alongside Save the Cat and On Writing By Steven King when it comes to your essential intake materials.  I recommend getting his new book and downloading his horror course to get the most out of his materials.

In this episode, we will be taking a closer look at the impact of artificial intelligence on the world of publishing, specifically in relation to authors. We will discuss some of the most pressing concerns surrounding this topic, including the fear that technology may one day be used to sabotage the publishing industry, and how AI may be used to promote biased or misleading information. We also examine the benefits of AI, such as its ability to optimize search results and help authors more effectively target their audiences. By using AI, authors can gain a better understanding of what their readers want, and tailor their writing to meet those needs. Overall, the impact of AI on publishing is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires careful consideration. Join us as we delve into this fascinating topic and explore the many ways in which AI is changing the way we write and publish. #openai #sudowrite

Are you wondering what makes the difference between your story being in the top 0.1% of best-selling books and screenplays? John Truby joins us to talk about the anatomy of genres and how to use genre-specific beats from multiple genres to create iconic stories that transcend genre. John Truby is a story coach, a master of genre, and a believer that any story could be made into something powerful and memorable. He has studied best-selling books and screenplays, looking for the common thread that ran through them all. Truby studied the different genres and the beats that each of them contained, looking for common elements that could be used to create stories that transcended genre. Truby believes that the key to creating powerful stories was to use beats from multiple genres. It was the combination of different genres that made stories rich and complex. He writes in The "Anatomy of Genres" that by using the appropriate genres and their individual beats combined with the right structure, any story could be crafted into an iconic tale. Truby provides the tools to help aspiring storytellers find their own unique path to success. He teaches how to identify the various genres, the beats they contained and how to weave them together in a way that made the story exciting, memorable, and unpredictable. His methods had helped many of his students become some of the top 0.1% of best-selling books and screenplays. To learn more, go to https://truby.com/
