Whether you are drafting your first stories or deep into a novel, you will leave with tools you can use the next time you sit down to write.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoice is crucial to writing fiction, yet difficult to understand. Writers talk a lot about voice, but what is it, exactly? Why is it so important? How does it work? And how is it constructed? Some clarity on how voice is created will help you develop voice in your own writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this two-hour Zoom writing class, we'll look at several examples of voice from great published writers, and then explore how to create a range of distinctive voices in our own fiction through in-class exercises. Come ready to ask questions, write short exercises, and share with the group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan't Make It Live?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo problem!

Robert \"dripped\" the craft-info to us, just enough to get to the next exercise. It never felt \"information heavy\" to me. He covered everything for me.\" — Robert B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The course was wonderful. The wealth of information and the opportunity to use the exercises to think through my novel was most valuable. What an excellent course all around: the structure, content, and atmosphere.\" — Former Student\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I found Robert's provision of tools, and then the practical application in exercises most valuable. Robert is one of the best that I have learned from. His tempo and pace throughout the class were great. He listens with a keen ear, and is very approachable and compassionate in his delivery. He also shared a lot of examples of novels for us to read and pick up on ways to deliver story.\" — Carol R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Robert was superb. He created an encouraging atmosphere, a clear step-by-step building of ideas, and helpful exercises. Highly recommend!\" — Former Student\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This class exceeded my expectations. I found the didactic portions were extremely informative and so were the exercises very valuable.\" — Lisa M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Full of richly drawn characters and jolting plot twists—Glasser's time behind bars is especially chilling—Siegel's debut novel works both as a parable of how quickly the high and mighty can fall, and as gripping drama. 'Money' well spent.\" — \u003cem\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cem\u003eAll the Money in the World\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Early in this novel, there is a wonderful scene—rich with embarrassment—in which Louis Glasser, the altogether unlikely hero, helps his Harvard-educated son buy a new suit. The son's fortunes founder, but that's nothing compared to the perils that overwhelm his father—a lawyer who operates on the margins and becomes the target of a criminal investigation. Siegel's … portraits (loving and otherwise) of the Glassers, New York prosecutors, and various lowlifes are right on the money.\" — \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cem\u003eAll the Money in the World\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"...Well-turned and elegant...Gloriously complex...\" — \u003cem\u003eAtlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cem\u003eAll Will Be Revealed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"...A richly detailed and seedily seductive narrative.\" — \u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cem\u003eAll Will Be Revealed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Robert's unique skill as a teacher comes from his enthusiasm not only for talking, which is present in many talented professors, but for listening... He has a reputation for being the best kind of teacher: generous, knowledgeable, demanding, and always at the ready with excellent advice.\" — Former Student\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The level of discourse was challenging and interesting and I think part of the reason for that was the casual atmosphere of discussion, fostered by Robert.
