Contemporary Fiction with Jane Rusbridge

Thursday 10 April 2014 @ Heene Gallery, Worthing

Jane will be looking at the Voice in contemporary literature.

Voice: Missing, Lost and Found.

The 'voice' of a novel is what brings the story to life, its essential spirit. It's something we – writers, agents, publishers and readers alike – are all searching for, in one way or another. With reference to the process of writing her first novel, The Devil's Music ( Bloomsbury, 2009), Jane Rusbridge will explore how we as writers can go about our search, what helps and what hinders, and how we might recognise The Voice when we discover it.
