FAQ
How is authorial voice different from a character’s voice?
A character’s voice is the way an individual in the story speaks or thinks; authorial voice is the overall narrative presence that frames the story. You can have a neutral authorial voice with distinct character voices, or a strong authorial voice that colors even dialogue and internal thoughts.
Can authorial voice change between scenes or player choices?
It can shift subtly to match mood or perspective, but large abrupt changes usually feel jarring. In interactive storytelling, measured shifts—like a softer tone in an intimate scene—work best when anchored by consistent vocabulary, pacing, or attitude so the story still feels coherent.
How do I find or develop my authorial voice?
Read widely to notice voices you love, write regularly to experiment with tone and phrasing, and ask readers which passages resonate. Over time you’ll notice recurring patterns—humor, metaphors, sentence length—that form your distinctive voice.
