Show Notes
In this third episode of How to Write a Book, Elizabeth Day’s new podclass series, hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew discuss finding your voice.
What constitutes an authorial voice? And how does it differ from a narrative voice, or a character’s voice? Do they require vulnerability to cultivate? And how can they come together, like a perfectly pitched symphony? Our expert podclass provides answers to all of this, as well as how to make your voice stand out; and even where to find it.
Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing.

• The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins
• Rainbow Milk by Paul Mendez
• Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
• Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
• The Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe

More from How To Date
For this bonus episode, Elizabeth and Mel open up the post bag to answer the burning questions YOU have when it comes to dating… And, let’s just say, we cover A LOT of ground.
For the final episode of How To Date (sob!) Mel and Elizabeth look at the most important relationships any of us can have in our lives: the one with ourselves.
Elizabeth and Mel face one of the most challenging parts of dating: heartbreak and rejection.
Things are going well… So Elizabeth and Mel are taking it to the next level where they are getting just that little bit more serious.
Mel and Elizabeth look at the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that can help us understand whether a potential partner is right for us. That’s right, we’re exploring the red flags that should have us running for the hills, the green flags that signpost a healthy relationship and the amber or pink ones that lie somewhere in-between.
